Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

"I object to the NHDC Local Plan 2011-2031. I want to change many parts of this Local Plan. I want to participate in the Examination."
I wish to participate in all examination stages and change parts of the plan".
This letter is in support of my objections to the Local Plan.
The reasoning behind the Local Plan does not even acknowledge the existence of my house. It makes no reference whatsoever to the presence of any dwellings in Brick Kiln Lane. I have not been consulted and no thought whatsoever has been given to the impact I am faced with. I will find my house at the epicentre of a huge Luton estate.
I know this is unnecessary as a councillor from Luton actually stated so at the public "consultation" in Letchworth in July 2016. As he said, the developers are getting worried that so many properties are now being built around Luton that it may affect the eventual selling prices.
Bloor Homes have previously stated that their own traffic survey indicated that building on the fields either side of Brick Kiln Wood would not create any extra traffic in Brick Kiln Lane. It is actually quite frightening that people hoping to develop this area could either believe such rubbish or expect the local residents to believe it. Brick Kiln Lane is basically a single lane track with some passing places. The stretch to the front of my house certainly is and, as Brick Kiln Wood opposite is apparently safe from demolition, the road cannot be widened. It will never cope with the traffic that will come with the housing proposed.
One of the reasons cited for this area being chosen is that this area is "not beautiful". This is highly subjective and no basis for deciding to ruin it for ever. Elsewhere it is stated that the character of the Chilterns must be preserved. Well, Brick Kiln Lane forms part of the Chilterns Cycleway, therefore by NHDCs own edicts it's character must be preserved. This cannot be done by completely surrounding it with housing, particularly Luton social housing. Is the plan to let Luton create another Marsh Farm, maybe call it Cockernhoe Farm?
I cannot get an appointment at my local doctor's any more. It will be impossible with another 2000 homes in the area. The surgery cite the problem as being unable to recruit doctors to the area. It is therefore totally misleading and untrue to say that extra medical facilities will be supplied. The building might be (at the expense of yet more greenery) but it will be useless without the doctors to staff it.
I would estimate that traffic using the lanes, Chalk Hill, Stoney Lane, Lilley Bottom has increased least tenfold in the last 2 years. It is so busy and dangerous at certain times of day that I already prefer to take longer routes to avoid the problems. This is made worse by the dangerous condition of some parts of these roads. NHDC already say that they can only afford to repair a fraction of their roads. The extra traffic that would be brought to these lanes by the building of these proposed houses would create mayhem. They are not designed for the amount of traffic. They are largely single lane tracks with crumbling tarmac. There would be gridlock at best and fatalities at worst.
The wildlife in the area would be devastated. The fields earmarked for development are home to deer, rabbits, hares, dormice, field mice, foxes, birds of prey, and numerous other beautiful birds and insects. All would be lost.
Please do not allow this beautiful area to be destroyed. Luton has enough land to cater for it's own needs.
