    Don't forget school provision, employment opportunities for the new residents, sewage facilities (will it cope), local amenities such as doctor/dentist/post office/shops, does it fit the local plan (you do have one don't you?)

    Absolutely certain main road won’t be used according to plans. All previous plans since 80s were always with our Close as access. Probably cheaper linking into existing infrastructure and means not closing main road so less disturbance. 
    The main road itself has fields  and our Close on one side on the other side a Long Island slip/  access road then homes . 
    Cash cows Was hoping our loss of amenities would be sufficient reason to oppose plans, our local policies seem to infer this ?

    Thanks for feedback, letters were sent today to all residents asking them if they wish to join a group opposing changes.  

    Will check Local and district policies, will also look into manoeuvrability for emergency vehicles etc. 

    Past permission was always rejected as was a green site. Not sure if the development will use an access road to build or not. The field has main road on one side, church land to the back, further field to one side owned by council also used for firework displays etc and then our Close on other side. No plots of land available as pavement runs up one side then fence / trees/ hedge then field. 

    As the developers are the council not sure they will provide extra spaces for those taken ? But worth looking into, the 10 houses they are building will have 18 parking spaces the 6 flats have have 10. We have 13 houses with 14 spaces plus road parking but will loose 2 spaces and half of road parking.  Thanks again
    When i was young most people never had a car or if they did it was one! people near me have six and a caravan! such is life but it is no wonder there are parking problems.
