I would like to object to the application in principle relating to the proposed developments near the Elstow/ Wilstead / Shortstown areas.
These areas are rich in countryside and wildlife and I feel strongly that they should be left without being developed.
The increase in traffic and pollution associated with the proposed developments would further spoil this beautiful area. I feel that it is extremely important for the future generations to have the same opportunities to enjoy the countryside and open spaces as previous generations have done.
I also have concerns about how the health service will cope with all this additional housing. I work at the Hospital, and have seen how the capacity of the Hospital does not meet the demand currently. This would only be exacerbated further by an increase in population such as that proposed.
With the Abbeyfields and Wixams estates being developed over the last 20 years, surely this area has already done it's part in housing development. Please do not let these developments go ahead.
