Firstly I do not understand how someone could actually think this proposal was a good idea. It is a thoughtless and reckless money making idea that will have detrimental consequences to the environment. Swainsthorpe is a beautiful, little village with lots of character and a family feel, having a housing estate would completely disrupt and spoil the village. It's not hard to see that the A140 is already a busy road, with many fatal accidents. By having a housing estate built in the tiny village adds the pressure of more cars and therefor increasing the chances of more deaths. As a child growing up in swainsthorpe, walking to the bus stop was a dangerous experience with the tight roads, poor visibility around the corners and the speeding cars. There are no close amenities for families in the area, once again adding more of a burden on the roads. If this proposal was actually planned properly and took others into consideration, any person would be able to see Swainsthorpe is just far too small for any new houses.
