Having carefully studied the proposals for Burton Green Village, I agree that the preferred option No. 1 Burrow Hill Nursery is by far the best option as it will be built on open land having a ready made entrance and will not encroach upon any other properties in the area.
An alternative is to continue with ribbon development as in sites 3 and 4, which is the way the village, has evolved over the years it has been in existence. As there are existing houses opposite these sites, it would be appropriate for this type of development.

I am very much against 'back garden development' as stated in sites 2,5,6 and 7. As it stands at present it is within the green belt and has been appreciated and enjoyed by residents in Burton Green for over fifty years. Should the green belt order be amended it will cause a great deal of anguish, intrusion and most importantly a devaluation of property.

Part C - Commenting on the Indicative Settlement Boundaries.

Burton Green Settlement.

As the Burton Green boundary has been extended down Red Lane almost to Clinton Lane, I fail to understand why this area has not been taken into consideration for housing. It is far enough away from the proposed HS2 railway line and has extensive open countryside.
