As a resident in Wigmore I would like to OBJECT to NHDC building plan for new houses on green belt land East of Luton.

I would like to raise the following points:

Local roads are chocked with traffic at the best of times morning and evening rush hours. The impact of additional traffic due to new housing will only exasperate the issue.

How are local amenities supposed to cope ie. schools ,doctors etc. Will extra amenities be built to accommodate extra housing?

Why should we lose greenbelt land as new developments would swallow up this land between Luton and Cockenhoe which will have huge impact on wildlife and village life in Cockenhoe will no longer exist. Why should local people lose access to green belt area for housing that is completely out of proportion.

Possible council tax rise for Luton residents as NHDC will collect council tax for new housing in Herts.

I strongly object to new housing on green belt land East of Luton as has been suggested brown belt land can be used to ease Luton's housing issues.

I DO NOT WANT GREEN BELT STATUS REMOVED.
