    Emma Newfield From: Will Sinclair Sent: 16 February 2016 14:40 To: Consult Planning Cc: Subject: Consultation on Bromsgrove District Council and Redditch Borough Council BORLP4 'Narrative' Document Jan 2016 Categories: Blue Category Dear Sirs I wish to write to state that I do not agree with findings of the above document regarding development of WEBHEATH ADR & FOXLYDIATE. I also do not agree with the policy, do not agree with the flawed analysis of the 4 areas and do not agree withe th undemocratic processes employed by RBC, to force through the Planning application. Bordesley is a far more sustainable location to build 3,500 to 5,000 houses for the following reasons: o Its proximity to the town centre, o Access to the region’s motorway and rail networks o Access to Birmingham. o Access to existing local infrastructure requirements – roads, schools, sewage etc Other areas for Redditch’s allocation would also be more suitable for development such as Maypole and therefore these other areas should be considered before and decisions are taken. I wish to object to building on both the WEBHEATH ADR & FOXLYDIATE for the following reasons: Flooding Living in close proximity to a stream on the site of a water mill I have been flooded three times in the last 6 years. I do not believe the pools planned for water retention are adequate to prevent an increased risk of flooding that a new development would present, particularly on the steep slopes at the top of the watercourse. Areas of Feckenham will be similarly affected. Traffic The existing road infrastructure is unable to handle the current levels of traffic, let alone the additional vehicles a new development would attract.
