Respondent: Mrs A J Crossland

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The village has been developed enough.
The impact of the development is reduced wildlife, less trees, more traffic.
The wildlife needs a chance to recover and resettle. After the Scraptoft Hall development many species have made their home on the Nature Reserve. We need trees and wildlife to support our ecological systems, for future generations.
Increased traffic will add to already congested roads and increase pollution.
The developers are not taking into consideration the wishes of the residents.
There is also a pond in the nature reserve, which supports more wildlife.

Please reconsider these plans and keep Scraptoft a village.

I have lived in Scraptoft for a long time - more than 40 years! The village has been developed for new build houses enough.
The impact of the development is reduced wildlife, less trees, more traffic. The wildlife needs a chance to recover and resettle. After the Scraptoft Hall development many species have made their home on Scraptoft Nature Reserve. We need trees and wildlife to support our ecological systems, for future generations.
Increased traffic will add to already much congested roads and increased pollution.
The developers are not taking into consideration the wishes of the residents.
There is also a pond in the nature reserve, which supports more wildlife.

Please reconsider these plans and keep Scraptoft a village.
