I object to the Gateway and Housing Strategies for Baginton Village.

Inappropriate development for Green Belt Land and its environmental and community impacts.
The Gateway scheme does not enhance or improve the area and would have far-reaching negative impacts on local communities and the environment. The proposal is deeply flawed in content and sustainability. THis proprosal should be withdrawn.

The proposed extra houses could number 70-90 is too high a figure for such a small village. There is an acute lack of land and amenities for such a development. More Green Belt Land? Where's the services, transport, shops, schools, doctors etc? An acceptable small number could be accommodated but a limit to around ten.

Both schemes unsustainable and the Green Belt should be protected. Last year there were approx 72,000 empty homes in the W MIdlands and 64,000 in the E Mids. Why aren't they being renovated and re-used...why more erosion of green belt and small communities?
