Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Development Plan Document

Disagree

Regarding the proposed development of Lodge Farm, Water Lane Thurnham as a Travellers and Show People site , I would like to formally register my objections , based on the following facts:- Water Lane is virtually a single track country lane, with very few passing places, the nature of this development would obviously mean an increase in 4x4 vehicles, vans, and pickup trucks, already the Lane is used as a short cut by delivery drivers and local drivers plus local farming and agricultural equipment and local horse boxes and trailers. It is also frequented by horse riders, cyclists, and dog walkers, tragically less than 2 years ago , there was a fatal accident on Thurnham Lane which resulted in the death of a very popular local couple and their dog , sadly this could be repeated on Water Lane. . Water Lane is a ‘sunken’ lane so is prone to frequent flooding , especially under the railway bridge . If this development was to go ahead , it would put more strain on local infrastructures which are already under pressure from increasing over development . To sum up ,this is residential community , and as I resident for over 55 years I feel this would not be appropriate for this area .
