Representation Summary:

I live in brickle rd, have done for 33 years, we bought this bungalow with the beauty of the countryside, the peace and the lack of traffic - Poringland s development has already disrupted this by using the road as a rat race - to have even more properties on our doorstep would be unforgivable.

The land is outside the development boundary. It would encroach on the rural open green belt countryside. The effect the extra traffic would have on our small already damaged roads, not to mention the already oversubscribed gps, dentists, chemists, local shops - we have recently been at risk of losing the local buses, this would mean more cars on the rural roads and even more children having to find other means or getting to schools and further education - more stress on these already overstretched - the stress of already overloaded sewers, drainage - brickle road has never been free from drain issues in the 33 years of living here - we moved here to a lovely rural location of peace and tranquility this is being spoilt by builders so am shocked that the local farmer feels he can even consider adding to this major problem - our houses will lose value, our children won't be safe on the roads, or will our elderly - we cannot stress what a major impact this will have on many of us, the beautiful views of those in the chalets will be damage beyond repair and I know many neighbours are heartbroken at this ever being considered.
