Wootton has had a huge amount of additional housing, warehousing etc in recent years. It is no longer a ‘villiage’. There isnt enough school places for local children as it is now and with additional housing, that demand is going to put further strain on the local schools. There also isnt enough doctors surgeries in the local area, its already extremely difficult to get an appointment. Again the additional housing is going to cause additional strain on local services. My husband and i dont feel our kids are as safe anymore in the villiage. The roads are not built for as many cars as there are and all the green spaces are disappearing. Global warming is being made worse by additional housing going up on our green spaces. People want to move into viliages to have the luxury of green spaces that are quiet and healthy to explore. We are in a global pandemic of obese people and children. Building on more of these areas is going to add to the limited spaces we already have for exercise in open areas. The wildlife in wootton has struggled in the last few years with all the extra houses being built and building further in this area is going to have a further detrimental effect on this. I stongly feel this land should be left as green space in order to preserve the wildlife we have left and to stop gardens from flooding as mine now does since the houses have been built behind our home. (It didnt flood before as the excess ran off on to the fields behind).
Further building needs to be done elsewhere and more apartments rather than houses to preserve as much green land as possible.
