Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 6461

Received: 16/11/2017

Respondent: Mrs Penelope Fielden

Representation Summary:

I fully support that IF development was allowed it is imperative to preserve as many trees as possible.
However, from personal experience developers" say trees are diseased and cut them down anyway.

Harborough has done little in the way of tree protection, enforcement and prosecution in Scraptoft when people move into the new houses and chop down the trees in their gardens! The number of houses and roads as well as proposed doctor's surgery, primary school, retail development for the site seems incredibly high and I feel Harborough will NOT preserve enough of the wonderful trees and vegetation here..
