Respondent: Mrs Emma Goddard

Representation Summary:

Please don't allow building on this special piece of green land. Other sites are more appropriate especially on the outskirts such as the old Hamlin's site. These areas are already unattractive and need development, to develop a beautiful meadow and take away a last slice of bucolic England in our lovely town would be appaling.

Issues with access- considerable work would need doing to Shelfanger road to make it safe.

The water table is very high, several natural ponds form over the winter and gardens on the Sunnyside side flood. Drainage needs to be seriously looked into.
