Please add your response below, quoting the main modification reference number: (limit 3000 words)
I consider the plan for Grange over Sands and district to be unsound for the following reasons:
1. 735 new homes is proportionately too large an increase on the existing number.
2. The increase in traffic would be a major problem to Grange's already congested streets.
3. The character of the area would be greatly impaired due to massive loss of green space.
4. There is an increased flooding risk at Kents Bank Station and Cart Lane railway embankment.
5. The change in local character would have an adverse effect on tourism which is vital to the area.
6. Parking in the area is already very limited.
7. Proper consideration has not been given to other local infrastructure e.g. schools and health provision.
8. The need for new homes has not been adequately demonstrated.
9. The local community does not want such a large development.
Yours faithfully
Howard Turner
