Strongly object to this development. This is the rural end of Elstow, cannot see how you can protect it from noise, light pollution and extra traffic is this proposal goes ahead. Already if there is an incident on the A6 or A421 Wilstead Road becomes extremely busy and the village has been gridlocked 8 times in the last 3 months.
The loss of valuable productive farmland is another issue. This end of the village also provides habitat for wildlife and bats.
Residents are worried about intrusive lighting, height of buildings and noise at night.
Elstow is unique, preserve it.
