Re: Scraptoft North 1200 houses on golf course site.
Scraptoft has had many new houses built in recent years already (former Scraptoft campus and Beeby Rd developments and the nearby Hamilton development) which has had a negative impact in terms of increased traffic noise/pollution on the narrow road junction directly outside my house. The proposed new development in terms of number of houses far exceeds this. Any major road widening here would have a massive impact on the rural character of the conservation area that my house is in. I value this greatly and do not want what is left of the historic village of Scraptoft swallowed up by the City and/or a new housing estate.
As well as the traffic noise/pollution I believe this will also decrease the value of my house.
