Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

We go to Cockernhoe regularly and are very concerned about the proposed plans.
The lovely green belt land around Cockernhoe and Lilley would surely be destroyed by this plan. The current application does not meet the "very special circumstances "to use this green belt.
There is already congestion on the roads going in to Luton and on the way to the airport. People living in the Wigmore and Cockernhoe area already suffer congestion going in and out of Luton.
There are not enough roads to deal with the current demand. These new houses will just add to the congestion.
There are already 205 dwellings around Cockernhoe, Mangrove and Tea Green. 2100 new homes would increase this by 1124%. We are already seeing the impact with the housing that came up in the last building phase .
It makes more sense to use brownfield sites before green belt .
There are many brownfield sites in Luton, that could be developed to meet the housing needs, e.g. The old site across the road from St. Mary's church.
We are trying to encourage society to become healthier and fitter, yet this will destroy areas for them to cycle, walk and enjoy less congested and hopefully safer roads!
