Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
The plans should clearly state this is Wilstead parish,it does not.
The lose of importance green spaces,will have a determental affect on the village
The road are not designed for the amount of traffic they have already,any more would be dangerous
The fact we have no doctors or dentists in the village,and local practices are already over stretched
And flooding and drainage are already a problem,with out any more developments
The gap between Wilstead and Wixams should be preserved to keep the character of the village
This proposed development will cause undue stress to local infrastructure
The roads are already very busy at peak times,the A6 will not be able to cope with any more traffic
And the village roads are already far too busy,especially past the school and down Cotton End Road
There has been a number of accidents here,in the last few years,this will get dramatically worse
The drainage in the village,has been a problem,with flooding in various parts of the village
And more large scale developments will cause this to be more of a problem in the future
There are no doctors or dentists in the village,and local practices are already overwhelmed
Wilstead is a small rural village,if this development is allowed,we will lose the strategic gap between us and Wixams
And lose the character of our village.Also this is an important green space,used and appreciated by the village
I also feel the way this has been presented,is misleading.It should clearly state this is in the parish of Wilstead
