Representation Summary:

I object because it will change the landscape forever in terms of buildings and wildlife. Elstow will cease to be a village. The sites proposed are in very rural locations and habitats will be lost. Traffic and noise pollution will increase. It will block out views of historic Elstow Abbey and the plan to have a business park in the heart of the village does not fit with the character of it. It could lead to more developments and thus a total urbanisation of the area.
