My objections relate to Preferred Option 4 of the Kingswood Plan relating to proposed development of land to the rear of Brome Hall Lane.

There is no easily defined access to the proposed site without demolishing an existing property in Brome hall Lane.
As with preferred Option 3 where the capacity has been reduced to six dwellings on the same developable area, due to insufficient highway access this should also be taken account of for the Brome Hall Lane site and the number of proposed dwellings should be reduced accordingly.

Approximately 20% of the proposed site appears to be unsuitable for residential construction due to the proximity of residences in St Chads Mews, Brome Hall Lane and Clover Hill. Sufficient space must be left between existing properties and any new construction.

The development site includes three large trees which have tree protection orders on. Also on this piece of land there are a number of mature trees in existence e.g. hawthorn, oak and elder which may need to be protected.

The proposed development site has become a natural habitat for many forms of wild life including, monk jack, squirrels, rabbits, pheasants . Bats have also been sighted in the area. A full environmental study should take place to assess the potential effect of any construction.

The sewage and drainage infrastructure of the houses located on the Clover Hill Estate are believed to cross the proposed development site therefore construction work in this area could cause serious disruption to residents.
