Representation Summary:

This area is rapidly losing its green spaces and thus wildlife. Surely we shouldn't let nature be lost to urbanisation?

I am very disappointed to see housing development plans at this site. I live on Draper way and as I and many of my neighbours do, we enjoy access to such an undulating and open field where we can quickly escape urbanisation to exercise our dogs and walk in nature. I regularly see kestrels, muntjac deer, rabbits, pheasants and red kites in the fields which is are a pleasure to see so close to built up areas. Having lived on Draper Way for 14 years I have seen the increase in traffic and desperate need for car parking just in our small estate. Mine and my neighbours cars have been damaged in hit and run incidents because we have to park on the road. Opening up our field to be built on will only massively increase traffic, parking issues, noise, pollution and a stretch on our already overworked Doctors at the two local surgeries. Longwater area is severely busy with cars and walking around Roundhouse traffic lights and city bound Dereham Road, the pollution is strongly smelt as I experienced recently. This area is rapidly losing its green spaces and thus wildlife. Surely we shouldn't let nature be lost to urbanisation?
