Full text:

I live in the Wigmore area of Luton and I wish to object in the strongest terms to the planned development in the Cockernhoe area for the following reasons:
* I do not want to see thousands of houses built on this country's diminishing green belt land. Whilst I appreciate that there is a need to build additional housing, there are a number of "brown field" sites in and around the Luton area that should be developed first.
* The proposed development would bring an increase of at least 1,000 additional cars into the area and the existing road infrastructure cannot cope with such an increase. Already, there are lengthy traffic delays in the area at peak times.
* With the increase in traffic will come an increase in noise and an increase in pollution, which will have a detrimental affect on the local population.
* Village life will be eradicated altogether.
* Wild life e.g. deer will disappear from the surrounding woods.
If permission is granted to build this development, then other developers will also submit proposals for a housing developments and, before long, the whole local countryside will disappear under a 'concrete jungle', which should be avoided at all costs.

I sincerely hope that the concerns of the existing local residents will be taken into account.
