Respondent: MRS JANET HOLLINGSWORTH

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? Yes

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

As a resident of 18 years and after purchasing a house that overlooked green belt when it was bought, and at the time when greenbelt was protected; I am somewhat dumbfounded to have this now being taken away for housing. The impact the increased traffic will have on a quiet back road will be considerable. I have major concerns about flooding on this site. We have all had historic problems with flooding since living here and the removal of these fields can only make drainage issues even more relevant.
