Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I would like to express my opposition for the proposal of 600 houses onto Great Ashby - g2 plan I believe it is.

The primary schools are oversubscribed and the idea of extending the Leys would mean less outdoor play space for children.

By putting in more houses but not considering where those children might go to school, dentist or doctors is irresponsible.
Maybe if you insisted that the developers included a primary school that would help.

Also maybe if the developers had to make these new houses more environmentally friendly so that they didn't use too many resources. For example if they had to collect their grey water to use for flushing toilets, solar panels on the roof. Anything to make them better for the environment.
More houses and concrete would mean less land for rain water to soak into & drain away, increasing the risk of flooding.

Also if you also insisted that they make sure that each house has 2 off road parking spaces but don't include a garage in that calculation as no one really uses a garage to store a car.

So basically if you make the developers include a primary school, make houses more environmentally friendly, enough parking (not including a garage) then maybe people wouldn't be so against these houses.
