Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 53642

Received: 26/07/2013

Respondent: Mrs Josephine Merrell

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to more houses being built on this land, as no more countryside should be concreted over. Only brownfield sites should be considered. However, more houses means more cars, and this area already has major problems with traffic, particularly at peak times. Also, there are numerous people out of work in this area already, and even if a few more companies were to move here I do not think there would be sufficient jobs available.
