Representation Summary:

I object to the development because it will impact on the environment which my children late growing up in. Create noise pollution and damage to properties on Low street and High Street. Potentially causing damage to, the residents of Low streets homes. Create an eyesore and be detrimental to the wildlife that inhabits the area. There is also a risk of flooding in the area and poor drainage, this cannot withstand more housing.The infrastructure of the village cannot support, the proposed develoment.

Myself and my young family live on High street, our garden backs onto the proposed site. I also note that on the plans it appears that a section of our garden is marked off! As though this will included in the site! No thankyou, we will not be selling off our garden for more houses! One of the main reasons we purchased our house, was because of its large garden, we enjoy playing football, bbq's etc within it. Wicklewood is a very quiet picturesque village, the development of more properties will impinge on the natural beauty and its wildlife. Barn owls, muntjac deer and Roe Deer to name but a few! To build more properties will take away their natural habitat. The site is also off a single track road and will cause disruption and damage to low street. Impacting on the residents. The village does not have the infrastructure to sustain a population increase. The nursery and school are also oversubscribed abs cannot accommodate more pupils. The spectacular views of the windmill will be spoilt with a development. Also those lands are susceptible to flooding, drainage is poor in the village and further housing will impinge upon the already poor drainage. Putting home owners at risk of flooding. Power cuts and poor broadband are also a common occurrence within the village. It is for the above reasons that I object to the development.
