Representation Summary:

In summary the proposal is invasive to nature,Dangerous to traffic, and would be extremely disruptive to residents at this end of the village.As well as changing the outlook for some residents of Astley Cooper Place and upper High Green.

Full text:

As an existing resident of Astley Cooper Place I object for the following reasons:
1)The proposal will involve cutting down part of a small wood/copse adjacent to no's 8 and 9 at the end of our cul-de-sac. This contains Tawny owl,woodpeckers,bats and occasional barn owl and deer,and so a haven for nature.
2)The site exit onto High Green is on a bend and so dangerous to traffic.
3)The new development overlooks existing housing-on High green and Astley Cooper place.And changes the current outlook over fields and wood.
4)The disruption to residents at this end of the village would be very significant as a result of the building works from noise,lorries,and in constructing amenity links.
The construction of the Mallows slightly lower on High Green is a useful comparison as the road was closed for weeks, we had temporary traffic lights,and a disgusting mess on the road during the construction of only 12 houses!
