Representation Summary:

As a resident of Thorpe St Andrew I strongly object to the proposal to build on the Plantation site. This development has been strongly opposed by the local community for many years as it threatens a vital green space within an increasingly built-up area. Building on the woods would threaten wildlife and biodiversity as well as losing a beautiful woodland which is used and cherished by the local community. There would also be a negative impact on the local infrastructure as traffic is already bad at peak times and services such as GPs and schools are already heavily stretched.
