I am writing to object to the proposed development of 6,000 houses at site C1 as outlined in the
SWLP. This site is within the green belt and is therefore of key importance to maintain the character of our rural communities and act as buffer for urban sprawl. The release of this land for development contradicts the principles of preserving our natural landscapes that are crucial to main ecological balance. We keep pigs and bees, both of which support the local community
with produce. The bees need the wildflowers, hedgerows, flowering trees to survive and there are numerous accepted studies demonstrating the impact of the declining bee population on the
environment as a whole.
Doctors are now prescribing a period of daily interaction with nature as opposed to medicine due to the physical and mental and spiritual wellbeing of individuals, which has a positive impact on families and the work force. To remove the greenbelt removes this essential natural medication and the easy availability of it to those not only living in the country but also those in nearby
towns. We have a public footpath through our fields regularly used by dog walkers and hikers
obtaining the benefit.
The proposed development will place an unsuitable burden on local infrastructure, including roads, schools and healthcare facilities. the Lapworth surgery is already full to capacity both as a facility and from the number of doctors and health care professional that are funded at that practise.
