Planning Application: Land East of Broadleaf Park, Rownhams (Ref: 26/00695/OUTS)  

I wish to OBJECT to this planning application for the following reasons:

1. Traffic and Access Concerns  
The development will be accessed via Babey Avenue and Shutler Close, which are existing residential roads not designed to accommodate the level of traffic generated by up to 230 new homes. This will significantly increase congestion, create safety concerns, and impact the quality of life for existing residents.

2. Impact on Local Infrastructure  
Local services such as GP surgeries, schools, and road networks are already under pressure. This development will place additional strain on infrastructure that does not have the capacity to support it.

3. Flood Risk and Drainage  
The site already experiences drainage issues, and parts of it are close to areas at risk of flooding. Developing this land could increase surface water runoff and flood risk both on and off site.

4. Loss of Countryside and Wildlife  
This is a greenfield site with existing wildlife, hedgerows, and nearby woodland. The development would result in the loss of natural habitat and negatively impact biodiversity.

5. Unsuitable Location  
The site is outside the defined settlement boundary and represents an encroachment into the countryside, rather than a suitable or sustainable location for development.

I respectfully request that this application is refused.
