Further development of Union Lane Fields
Development Plans Manager
I'm appalled at the proposal to add another 44 homes to the Union Lane Fields site. I cant believe it is thought that the surrounding roads are suitable for the extra traffic that will be generated. Garden terrace already faces problems with traffic as it is so narrow and I personally have had a problem with my wing mirror on my car being ripped off by a large vehicle trying to squeeze past parked cars.
The flood risk is also a major concern as already the beck that runs behind garden terrace floods when there is heavy rainfall.
Last but certainly not least is the impact this development will have on the wildlife in the area.
Gill Banks is very special, an asset to the town, a place where I have observed bats, many lovely birds including nuthatches and treecreepers. It is a space for quiet contemplation, a gentle walk to melt away the stresses of modern life. We dont need this development that could have so many negative impacts.
