The land and view are enjoyed, it’s a valuable open space enjoyed every day by the public, bird watching, wildlife spotting, dog walking, exercising, improving mental health.

The noise and pollution with development will increase dramatically, especially due to the busier roads.

Green belt buffer between town and country side. Are we to lose all countryside? Artificially created ‘open spaces’, playing fields and parks etc on a small scale avoided by most wildlife not the same as natural open spaces.

Why choose green belt when other options are not green belt?

Highway safety will be compromised as access Dark Lane is incredible dangerous at times, parts are single track and well known to flood in multiple locations.

The bottom of Mill Lane ices up, it’s a complete sheet of ice. You have to exit Mill Lane onto the main road (Hockley Road) very slowly and carefully in winter and this will be almost impossible with more traffic. The lane is not gritted as much of the proposed area for development isn’t on a bus route.

Council is under pressure to reduce number of cars on the road, this area is lacking public transport so this would be difficult to commit to. The local roads would not be able to cope with the 10k extra cars on the road.

There has been recent flooding on the A46.

Has anyone unbiased conducted a tree survey as there are many ancient trees and other flora that need to be protected?
