As a local resident who lives very close to the proposed development site north of South Lane, I object to any development of the field in the strongest possible terms. We as residents of Fraser Gardens have already suffered the effects of three developments at this end of the village which have significantly increased traffic flow, noise and have severely hampered our outlook. Any further developments at the north end of the village will just make matters far worse, not just during construction (noise, mess, lorry and construction traffic, congestion, etc.) but also the impact of the occupants of 300 extra houses.
The increase in noise, traffic, congestion plus the extra strain on already overstretched infrastructure and local facilities (schools, doctors, etc.) is unthinkable. We are also aggrieved about the lack of publicity regarding this planned development. We are also very concerned about the detrimental impact a large development would have on not only our quality of life but also the negative impact on the value of our property. We have lived here since 1985 and have slowly been forced to watch our space and views eroded while powerless to do anything about it. We moved here wanting to be on the edge of a village and not swallowed within a huge housing estate. The roads through the village and also Westbourne and Woodmancote suffer from congestion at peak times especially around the schools and railway crossings. This would become significantly worse and dangerous for both parents and children. One of the worst aspects of this situation is that we have not been contacted by the council to inform us of the proposed major development.

Build it somewhere else if at all
