Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

In relation to the ongoing consultation about the Local Plan 2011-2031 Submission draft, I hereby object to the policy SP18 - Site GA2 and the development of approx 600 new homes off Mendip Way in Great Ashby.

- The development will destroy woodland and therefore will destroy the habitat of wildlife such as owls and deer
- The woodland is frequently used for recreational purposes by the residents of Great Ashby, the development of new homes will on one hand destroy this green belt and the countryside but also increase the demand for green spaces by the prospective residents in the new proposed development
- The roads into Great Ashby are already very busy and furthermore often blocked by parking cars, increased traffic to the new homes will only add to the problem
- The proposed development is quite literally on my doorstep and therefore will destroy my view of the countryside
- My property currently benefits from a quiet surrounding, a new development opposite my house will increase the noise
- An addition of approx. 600 homes will dilute the prices of the existing properties in Great Ashby
