I object to the amount of houses to be built in SCRAPTOFT. This village will lose its identity.
It will become a rat-run for traffic who need to travel to south of county.
The noise, pollution and volume of construction traffic will be intolerable.
There is not the infrastructure to support such a huge development.

Scraptoft has already had over 700 houses built in the last 5 years and to build another 1200 is far too many within such a small area.

We consider 1200 houses to be excessive for a village such as Scraptoft that has minimum facilities and no car park outside the shops. We have already had over 700 houses built in the village.

Scraptoft has already had over 700 houses built in the last 5 years and cannot sustain further building on this scale. Scraptoft will lose its identity and the infrastructure cannot support this further expansion

The plan to create a large housing development of 1200 houses plus the proposed accompanying structures, namely, supermarket, pub, community centre, school. cemetery and recreational areas is tantamount to developing a self sufficient satellite settlement which will encroach upon the tranquility and rural nature of the old part of Scraptoft. Traffic flow, already a problem in the village centre, will become worse as will light and noise pollution from the new development. There are limited employment opportunities in Scraptoft for people living within the proposed development thus forcing most people to commute .

I feel this development will change the face of the village of Scraptoft which will resemble a town when completed. In recent years there have been large developments around the village , spoiling the look of the church and changing the look and feel of the surrounding area . This further development would cause countless other problems such as , traffic , congestion and pollution. If each household has more than one car this creates lots of problems.

1200 new houses is a large number in a village that has already had 700+ houses. I feel that this scale of development will drastically alter the nature of the village. Traffic generally is an issue already and trying to leave and enter Scaptoft is already difficult at certain times. The other main issue is the reduction of the nature reserve.

This is too many houses for this area, we have already had significant expansion in this area of Scraptoft and had been told that with the Goodridge Development we would have met our housing quota. A firm maximum should be set so developers do not squeeze more housing in for greater profit.

HPC is concerned that this development will cause congestion in this in relation to routes into the city and contribute to new "rat runs" in this very rural part of the district.
We are concerned to see 1,200 dwellings at Scraptoft North "many of which may be needed to help deal with meeting unmet needs arising from another local authority." There should be defined figures.

Please have consideration of my thoughts and feelings and protect my human rights of my chosen location. Listen to the local people.
Huge amount of dwellings in a village area will have a negative impact on the mental state of those Who have lived in such quiet areas and chosen to be I a much less populated area.
The environment surrounding nearby wildlife and birds coming to the gardens brings much ease.
People have chosen to live in scraptoft for many reasons. My reasons, I chose scraptoft due to its quiet surroundings, the views and birds in the garden. I enjoy hearing the sounds of the birds in the morning and feeding the birds every morning.
The green wedge area must remain protected as it's the reason I chose this house for the views from the rear of my house.

I object to the amount of housing being proposed as I feel that the village of scraptoft and its roads will not be able to cope with the added traffic that will be brought to the area.
I feel that this will increase pollution in the area that will affect local wild life within the area.

This Policy is not suitable and I Object. This will cause issues with increased traffic, noise, pollution, wildlife and the loss of a very popular Scraptoft golf club which is enjoyed by its members. The local residents and community do not want the village to lose its small community. There has been already a large number of poor quality homes built within Srraptoft and along Keyham lane west which has impacted Scraptoft village leading to traffic and noise. Furthermore and there are no community services to facilitate these residents.

The proposal is not sound because we have already had over 700 houses built in Scraptoft over the last 7 years, and the existing village facilities cannot sustain further growth. There would be absolute chaos for the village inhabitants whilst a site of this size was being constructed.

I totally object to the development of the 1200 new homes as it will cause major disruption to the area. I have concerns with traffic, noise, pollution, and the major disruption to the natural wildlife and greenery of the area. It will also have a massive impact to the schools, doctors surgeries, hospitals, and nurseries in the area which area currently struggling without the added pressure. The roads cannot handle the traffic now and I fail to see how an additional 1200 homes will manage.

I live in the centre of your proposed development site at Oak Lodge, Beeby Road, Scraptoft. I am going to suffer noise, dust, dirt and daily inconvenience during any building. I am likely to have my visual and living amenity seriously curtailed at the end of your project. You have now put me in a position where I am unlikely to be able to sell my house without huge financial loss in the near future in view of your proposed plans.
I am contacting you to express my concern over your proposals to develop 1200 houses on the Scraptoft golf course site.
My first comment is that you have come up with significant plans to develop the site with a truly massive local building project and I have not informed of these plans by MH council even though they will have a massive negative effect on my life, family and property.
Unfortunately I live in the centre of your proposed development site at Oak Lodge, Beeby Road, Scraptoft. I am going to suffer noise, dust, dirt and daily inconvenience during any building. I am likely to have my visual and living amenity seriously curtailed at the end of your project. You have now put me in a position where I am unlikely to be able to sell my house without huge financial loss in the near future in view of your proposed plans.
Worst of all there is no opportunity to express my true concerns via your website comments system as you only have boxes with limited word space and limited flexibility. Your local plan also contains hundreds of pages with inadequate time to read them all and respond within the six days since I found out about this. The only reason I found out was because of a local meeting on this problem organised by local people in Scraptoft but not by MH council. Unfortunately I was unable to attend as I was working but my wife attended and has been extremely distressed and had sleepless nights over your proposals.
Is it normal for local councils to make such proposals without informing and allowing timely involvement of the people affected?
I would like you to consider this to be a serious complaint and I expect a full and considered response from the highest level.
