Representation Summary:

Too many homes so close to Elmstead which already has developments built or under construction, and which has few amenities. Existing services such as schools and nurseries are full and health services struggling. This will result in removal of the countryside.

To say I'm shocked is a total understatement! How anyone could think building SO many homes so close to Elmstead Market when we've already had so many developments built or under construction right now, already. I understand the country need more homes but Elmstead is/was a small village with few amenities.
We have done our bit!!

I moved to Elmstead Market nine years ago because I wanted to live in the countryside. I wanted to walk with my dogs IN THE COUNTRYSIDE!! If this development goes ahead there will be no countryside. If Elmstead Market gets swallowed up, because that is what is happening, I will have to move house. Exactly why should I be forced to do that?

And something else why do the amenities, of which many will be needed with this size development, go in last! Why will people have to struggle with overcrowded/full nurseries and schools? What about our health services struggling as it is to serve the village of Elmstead?

These plans must have been drawn up by people supposedly claiming to be intelligent. BUT WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND, COULD POSSIBLY THINK, THIS EVEN COMES CLOSE !!! TO BEING GOOD IDEA!!
Oh a great money making opportunity silly me.
