Object to SP19 (EL1, EL2 and EL3):
- Loss of Green Belt and 'very special circumstances'
- Highway infrastructure and congestion
- Scale of development
- Available brownfield sites
- Loss of pedestrian and cycling facilities
I'm writing to you to object to this proposed plan, particularly as there is green belt land around Cockernhoe and Lilley which would be destroyed as a result of it. The current application does not meet the 'very special circumstances' required to use this green belt land.
Congestion is already high on the roads into Luton from Cockernhoe, Wigmore and the Copthorne area.
The are not enough roads to deal with the current demand and these houses will just add to the congestion. There are already 205 dwellings around Cockernhoe, Mangrove and Tea Green. 2100 new homes would increase this number by 1124%.
There are many brownfield sites in Luton that could be developed to meet the housing needs. For example, the old site across 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.
