Representation Summary:

Green Belt land should be last resort. Wildlife should be preserved. Recreational use of footpaths would be lost. Flooding could worsen. Vehicular access would not be easy.

Full text:

Green Belt land should be developed as a last resort. This greenbelt land supports many animals and birds, including skylarks, owls, buzzards, sparrows, blackbirds, foxes & badgers. There are a lot of public footpaths on this land, well used by local people and others.
Windmill Road/Offchurch Road has a lot of surface water when it rains. Water running from this proposed site would make it much worse unless steps were taken to stop it.
Access to this site would be a problem. Traffic would increase enormously in Lillington if roads there were extended. Access from Windmill Road, Offchurch Road or Welsh Road would cause delays as these are narrow country roads with quite a lot of traffic already.
