We have recently moved into in Great Ashby and we are very dismayed to learn of the proposed development GA2. Please take this as our objections to both the proposed local plan and also the planned building at site GA2.
This particular area is full of outstanding beauty and tranquility and it would be a great pity to lose this. The area you are planning on building is home to a lot of wildlife and also trees that are over four hundred years old.. This ancient woodland provides a perfect habitat for wildlife and is a great asset to the local community to encourage walking and enjoying the outside world.
Furthermore the infrastructure i.e doctors, schools and parking would be totally inadequate as according to the proposed local plan no additional amenities are being built. As no new infrastructure is being built this would mean even longer waiting times for the doctors and all the roads would have increased congestion on them in peak times. Round Diamond school is up to its limit with numbers of children and with the additional housing and no extra schools would mean that children would have to travel further.
At the present moment this is a very quiet and safe area for families where children can play safely outside. If the plan goes through the area would get busier and traffic on all roads would increase. This coupled with the noise and pollution that this entails would remove the natural beauty of the area.
Please could you reconsider this proposal as I feel it is totally inapproirate for this area.
