I strongly object to this proposed development for a number of reasons. I live in Farm Close and have done since 2013 when we moved here. I chose to live here because it is a quiet and peaceful part of the town, if 400 houses were to be built this would totally change this part of the town. I am certain my house would be worth a lot less if this development were to go ahead. This proposal is far too large for the road network nearby and would further increase traffic within the town which is already a massive problem currently. As an on call Firefighter the traffic problems make it very difficult at times for the crews to get to the Fire Station and turn out to emergencies within our response times, any increase in houses/development will compound the problem and would put peoples lives in danger due to slower response times. Running through this proposed development is a bridle path currently enjoyed and used by many diverse groups of people to enjoy, ramblers, dog walkers etc.I note with interest your impact analysis and some of your scoring here is not accurate. Rather than build more houses we need more infrastructure, schools, doctors, proper road management more investment in facilities for the younger generation
