Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Development Plan Document

Strongly disagree

We are residents of XXXX Bearsted XXXX and write to object most strongly to the proposal to allow a gypsy site at “The Down” accessed from Water Lane. In the 44 years that we have lived here, Bearsted has seen numerous developments which have adversely affected its amenities and formerly village character. The doctors surgery in Bearsted is barely coping with its current patients while the new development at Lilk Meadow opposite us is not yet even half occupied. The traffic and its speed through Roundwell and the Street is already a danger to residents and horse riders and any further traffic from the narrow country lane which is Water Lane will only exacerbate the situation. Please do not add to the loss of countryside which used to be such an important part of Bearsted by allowing this proposed development.
