Dear Sirs,

I am writing to object to the planning applications for the land at the back of Knightcote and Fenny Compton. This new proposed development will be nothing but a detriment to the local area.

Firstly the roads in our local area are in a state as they are. They are full of potholes and it appears they can barely sustain the current levels of traffic. If further housing developments were built, this could increase the number of cars on the roads to 10,000 meaning that the roads will most likely collapse.

Another main issue is the lack of infrastructure, especially with regards to Knightcote. The most local shops and schools to the village are in Fenny Compton and Bishops Itchington. Both very small village shops have very little to no car parking. They would not be able to cope with the sheer volume of people.

The Dassett County Hills Park is known as a Special Landscape area. By placing 5,000 houses at the hills feet, it will cause serious damage to the views. The public loss to the park will be immeasurable.

Finally, the land the developers have chosen to build on is already an area which floods in the rain, the land could not possibly hold a development and it would cause flooding to the local villages every time it rained. This is not something that would be sustainable and a nuisance to the villagers.

I therefore strongly object to the developments listed to be behind Knightcote and Fenny Compton.
