Representation ID: 61218

Received: 18/01/2014

Respondent: Mr & Mrs R & C Smith

Representation Summary:

-The development will provide the village with a new village hall and ample parking which we believe the school traffic will have use of, therefore taking school parking off the road, making it safer for school children crossing.
-The presence of affordable housing within this development is welcomed as it will keep young people in the village.
-The developments plans appear to be quite open and environmentally balanced.
-We would rather not have any new houses in the area as it would add to traffic congestion but if this has to happen, we believe Site 1 to be the best.

We are tenants at Burton Green, Which is opposite the preferred site of Burrow Hill Nurseries . We would rather not have any new houses in the area adding to more traffic congestion. However if this has to happen we believe this be the best site . Keeping all the new houses in one area, and also all of the construction traffic and plant in one self contained area .
We also believe this would be the best site as it will provide the village with a new village hall with ample parking which we believe the school traffic will have use of , therefore taking school parking of the road which will then make it safer for children's commute to school alot safer .
We believe affordable housing will be included in this development , which would be a good thing to help keep the young people in the village .
From what we have seen of the plans the development will be quite open and enviromentally balanced.
