Disagree

Policy ref C4S(017) refers to Community and Crime Your report says that it will have a minor negative impact on community and crime. Looking at the number of bungalows in Langley heath, I think it’s justified to assume that there are a lot of elderly residents in the village, I for one (being over 70) would feel uncomfortable with a major influx of younger people (I’m assuming there aren’t many retirement caravans) so there will be likely to be a sudden influx of young people who have nothing to do except cause trouble. There aren’t enough schools and transport to support the pupils in the area let alone with a further influx of children Health and Wellbeing If I had known when I moved in (6 years ago) how dire doctors services in the are in the area I would maybe have chosen a different area. 6 years down the line, many more houses have and are still being built but no sign of extra doctor services. At least traditional housebuilders promise doctor services on their sites (even if they don’t deliver). How will they ever be seen by a doctor Economy I can’t see how you feel that the site will have minor positive effect on the economy, I assume the costs of buying the land, building the caravans, carrying out road changes, extra refuse collection etc will fall to council tax payers which will drastically reduce ability to spend money in the area therefore having a major NEGATIVE impact on the local economy Air quality How can you say that there will be no change to air quality At best, there will be a minimum of 20 vehicles for the residents and possibly more for their children Also, there will be a massive decrease in air quality because of the travellers’ vehicles which I assume will be environmentally UNFRIENDLY diesel lorries exacerbated by the need to tow trailers Flooding I understand the brishings has had planning refused in the past with one of the problems being flooding. I assume that the field soaks up some of the flood water compared to concrete standing I also believe any new access to the field will create more flooding on to heath road causing transport problems Climate change I assume the field is capable of growing crops as there are lots of farms nearby, Surely Pouring concrete bases and adding tarmac must have an adverse effect on the climate I hope you will consider these points
