Further development of Union Lane fields
Dear Sir/Madam,
We strongly oppose any more development on this area. We live on Garden Terrace which is already treated as a 'Rat Run'. The road surface is in a bad state of repair, and parking a major problem, introducing more traffic can only increase the risks to pedestrians and property, serveral vehicles suffer damage each year, wing mirrors, scratches etc.
The suggestion of a one way system is not a solution, this would probably mean the increased traffic flow travelling even faster as it would not need to negotiate oncoming vehicles.
Flooding is a major area of concern, during the winter of 2012 we had a problem with the beck at the rear of the Terrace overflowing, endangering several properties. In that instance the use of Sandbags and some emergency diversions to the flow averted a crisis, if more water was to be allowed into the table due to removal of trees and general foliage this may not be the case in future.
Finally, the introduction of more traffic is also going to bring more noise pollution to the area, the 'green' area around Gill Banks will no longer be an area to be enjoyed and the wildlife will also be affected.
Please do not allow the greed of one person to spoil the life of many, the houses being built at Hoad View should never have been allowed another 44 is unthinkable.
Regards
Mr & Mrs D Seeley
