I would object to this site being developed for several reasons.
The area was previously considered for development as part of a low cost housing scheme and declined, on the access issue and also reasons of suitability for house building. The road, Grange Road, is not an actual made up road and its state is in relatively poor condition. There is only one way up and down the road with a single lane. It used to have a turning circle that vehicles could go down, turn around and then drive back up the lane, this has now been closed off and even emergency vehicles have had difficulty getting to the bungalows at the bottom, even the bin lorries now have to reverse down the lane to collect rubbish. At the bottom where the proposed area is was once a pond that has since been filled in with a variety of items, anything that could be dumped there, before being buried. We have witnessed trailer loads of rubbish being taken down there to be dumped before it had topsoil cover it over and be grassed. The area at the bottom of Grange Road has also been known as to get extremely wet with rainfall. There is currently an access to the Grange within the area that is highlighted but the access is not shown on this map.
Local people living on this lane are not in agreement with this as some of them currently own the part of the lane at their threshold. I dispute the fact that this would be much needed housing and boost the income to the local area as well as providing accommodation for the Sugar factory. Cantley does not have much local employment as most factory workers are contractors coming in from outside. The ground conditions do have contamination and have previously been very boggy. There is no gas supply in Cantley, it would have to be bottled gas. There is no mains sewerage at the site. I feel the comments made by the landowner about how soon to allow this application are rude and inappropriate to local people.
Extra housing in this area would mean more traffic exiting onto the main beet route which at times can be difficult. If access is to be via Peregrine close then consideration must be give to the children living there as they play out in their close currently, although the red area showing the site only shows access via Grange Road.
