Representation Summary:

As a resident of Wilstead of over 30 years I am appalled to hear of another large-scale housing development of 2100 on our doorstep.

This area is already saturated with the building development of Wixams still ongoing, more and more houses and industrial warehouses.

Wilstead is a village and should remain so. We cannot allow this village to be swallowed up in the Wixams sprawl!

The school, preschool are already at full capacity. We have no G.P surgery the closest being Ampthill or Bedford.
The infrastructure is not in place, roads and traffic are becoming unbearable with the ever increase number of homes.

This whole area is unrecognisable to the countryside village we moved to in the 1980's our precious green space is diminishing. What happened to green belt areas to protect from this kind of large development?

The proposal is the wrong type of housing in the wrong area.
