I object to the proposed plan because I strongly believe that Green belt should be kept as that. It was put in place by far sighted people, to protect us from greedy developers and urban sprawl. Anyone who has to travel along any of the routes around the proposed site knows how bad the situation is already. During rush hours which now start from 7am until at least 10am and again from 3pm its mayhem. You are constantly put into the disappearing road banks. The lanes are full of potholes and very dangerous. Going into Luton is no better as the road is jammed every week day, in all directions.
Schools are already full and secondary education involves a long and expensive trip, with limited places. Doctors surgeries are already very full and appointments take a long time to get.
Even the shops are constantly rammed ,as anyone who tries to get shopping at the only big store Asda would verify.
Most of the villages around here are having more houses built, but not in this overwhelming way.
We all chose a country way of life for our families. Luton has a very high crime rate, with a lot of drug abuse and violence.do we want that on our doorstep NO.
The site is home to many types of wild life deer herds kites buzzards badgers, where do they all go then.?
