I would like to respond to the New Local Plan, Chapter 7, Village Plans and Housing Options.

I would like to object to one of the site option, option 7, development of land off Hodgetts Lane. Although this was declared a discounted option I would still like to object to it for future reference.

I would like to object to this option as it is likely to increase traffic along Hodgetts Land and Cromwell Lane which are already congested at peak times. Entry to and from the site would be hazardous whilst building was undertaken and for residents once the houses were built. This would be the case for a site entrance in Hodgetts Lane or Cromwell lane.

The site is back land and a number of existing properties would have their privacy affected.

The site is very close to the proposed route of HS2. This makes the site inappropriate for housing development until the line is completed and its effects on the local area established.
