Representation Summary:

This site is building on a green belt between Wootton and Kempston the only bit we have left following fields road development on the south side and WPC NP on the north

Building here is reducing the green belt we have between Kempston and Wootton. Already we have the devastating effect of the Wootton neighbourhood plan on our green belt around Wootton and now this . For those of us living between the edge of Wootton and Kempston we feel we are being closed in on. Another school I understand is to be built here also, absolutely ridiculous as one was not long built up near Lidl only quarter of a mile away! Yet the old Kempston middle school was shut and is just derelict. The whole thing is sickening what is happening to Wootton and surrounding areas yet north beds is completely unbuilt on - you are ruining our area the traffic is increasing so much on our ‘rural’ roads in keeley and wood end already it’s truly devastating to us. You are putting a large building area the other side of the A421 making the south side of Wootton an ugly mass of housing. You and our Wootton parish council seem determined to ruin the only nice part of Wootton/Kempston we had left
