Please explain your reasons
Housing development on land east of Town View Road would result in a greatly increased volume of traffic on this road and on Whinfield Road and Church Fields Avenue. These are narrow roads primarily occupied by elderly people and are already increasingly being used for parking by people avoiding car parking charges in the town. Such a development would transform quiet cul-de-sacs into noisy through roads and increase the likelihood of road accidents involving children and elderly residents. In addition, access to Hoad Hill via Little Hoad would be urbanised and the development would result in the slopes of Hoad Hill changing from pleasant open fields to suburban sprawl. The quality of a favourite walk for many residents and visitors would be lost and in the future it could result in Hoad Hill being encroached on even more by inappropriate development.
