Please explain your reasons
I strongly oppose the proposal for 71 dwellings in the green area on valley drive ref RN117M for the following reasons:
1. This is already a busy area for traffic and the roads are not in a good state of repair. Additional traffic which would be created as a result of this proposal would add to these problems whilst also creating excess noise and pollution. The roads which would lead to the site are narrow therefore would cause major access and safety issues.
2. The area is liable to flooding and has several overhead power cables.
3. Loss of privacy and natural light for residents, whose homes will be overlooked by the development.
4. Loss of one of very few remaining 'green' areas.
5. Where are the school places, jobs and other amenities ,to come from, that will be required for the additional people? The local schools are already full to capacity and there are limited or few jobs in the area.
