While I understand the need for development, I believe the current plan poses several significant issues that must be addressed.

Firstly, the proposed development would cause substantial harm to the character of our landscape. . What are close knit communities will become homogeneous towns losing the look and feel of country life that I sought.

Additionally, the plan raises serious concerns about flood risk. The proposed developments would significantly increase the risk of flooding in our area, which is already vulnerable. This poses a threat to both property and safety for current and future residents.

The lack of rail connectivity is another critical issue. Without adequate public transportation options, residents will be heavily reliant on cars, exacerbating traffic congestion and pollution. This is particularly concerning given the anticipated increase in vehicle movements and quarry activity, which will further degrade air quality and contribute to environmental pollution.

Furthermore, the current plan does not adequately address the need for educational and health facilities. With the expected population increase, there will be a greater demand for schools and healthcare services, which are already under strain. The plan must include provisions to expand these essential services to meet future needs.
Many of these concerns will cause irreversible damage to the locality and health and happiness of residents (old and new).

Other areas should be considered first, e.g. with the reduction in need for office space etc there must be plenty of brownfield land that could be used before the need to build on fields.
