I am writing to register an objection against the below consultations to develop the land surrounding Hatton Park for the building of houses and a gypsy site. Specifically:

R115 relating to the land behind Tidmington, Combroke, Ebrington.
R125 & R25 relating to Oakland's Farm, next to the Shell garage, where not only are they looking to this land for building houses but this location has also been designated as a proposed gypsies site.

My objection is based on a number of issues: Safety: the road infrastructure cannot cope with the current traffic levels with fatalities having already taken place over the past few years on the stretch of road involved. Amenities: local amenities such as schools are already full to bursting. Environmental: The area already floods during winter, the local wildlife will be impacted upon as a number of animals including bats inhabit the woods close to the sites. And lastly, I believe that the Government paper which calls for local councils to provide traveller pitches also states that settled communities should not be impacted upon, which clearly they would be.


Should you require any further information please let me know.
