We Object to the proposed plan to build estates in the area around Cockernhoe Village and Wigmore Estate.
This area is designated Green Belt land and does not fit in with governments criteria of "Except in exceptional circumstances".
The building of these estates would have dramatic effects on the wild life and flora and destroy a valuable recreational area.
Luton's unmet housing needs can readily be met by all the Brown Field sites within Luton.
There is no easy access to the proposed sites, even today there is road Gridlock during peak times in the surrounding areas taking long journey times to get to work places.
The local facilities, schools, medical centres, shops, could not cope with the proposed increase as these are already working to full capacity.
If a link road was to be built to service these proposals this would destroy even more Green Belt land.
