Representation Summary:

I am writing to object to this shocking proposal for a Science Park in Renhold.
Any structures and associated infrastructure constructed on the proposed sites, particularly large distribution and warehouse units, would have an unacceptable height and scale.
They would be imposing on nearby residential units and prominent within its rural landscape context, particularly given the elevated topography and openness of the land.
The proposals would be visually intrusive on the local landscape, harmful to its character and qualities.
You must ask yourselves these questions, 'Do we really need this development or is it just blue sky thinking gone crazy? Is this the right location for development? What legacy are you creating for future generations by destroying the rural way of life chosen by the people who live here?
Please stop this from happening. Be realistic. Without a Cambridge or Oxford postcode, this project, if it really is for a cutting edge science park, is already dead in the water.
