BASE HEADER

I am writing to object to the plans to build housing on the area to the north of the town. My objections are based upon the quality of life that we as a community currently enjoy by having such a wonderful area near us, enabling us to walk, cycle, and run through countryside within minutes of leaving our homes.
There is in my opinion a misunderstanding that these will be 'affordable homes' in an area which currently has no similar affordable housing. Unfortunately the area where the housing is proposed has no amenities which would be required by the residents - no primary school, doctors, shops, post office (remember those?) The idea that a new 'village' being established in the area is ill conceived and would alter the area for the worse.
