I know that the council has published a Strategic Housing Market Assessment purportedly supporting anticipated growth levels, but I still have concerns that you are proposing to build too many houses in such a confined space. Do we really need that many houses? It is important to protect and maintain the character of the area for its existing residents - i.e. the current ratios of open land to built up residential areas. Part of the appeal of my family moving from Bristol to Warwick Gates was the "countryside feel" which you have living in and around so much open space. I am concerned that you will erode this quality and many will consequently think about moving back outside of the area to find it.
