I feel the waterworks Lane development in the draft plan is unsound because: The infrastructure of the village will be unable to accommodate further growth in residents. The small village school has already been extended to try and accommodate intake of children from Winwick park, a lot of the children on Winwick park have to take their children outside the area due to lack of capacity. We already have increased traffic going through the village, further traffic would be unacceptable, especially with the effects car pollution have on Children's Lungs causing irreversible damage, we should not be subjecting our children to even further pollution which would be inevitable, from the extra houses/cars. Already 1.1 Million Children have Asthma, and Winwick linkroad to the M6 sits alongside the village which in itself creates pollution, this effects Brain development, lung disease, cancer strokes and has been linked to dementia. Winwick Village is a primary exit route for traffic on both developments. The extra residents would also put more pressure on our local health services. Warrington Council should be protecting Greenbelt Land, it protects the unique character of our rural communities, and provides a break from pollution and busy roads, it has been vital for Mental health with the current pandemic. Also with the Environmental issues, the council should be focusing on what they can contribute to ensure Wildlife, Flood risks and are Carbon footprint. Local Planning should be looking to positively enhance the beneficial use of green belt land, by retaining and enhancing landscapes and biodiversity, we have only 53% biodiversity, biodiversity is crucial to our survival, and undermines natures ability to support a healthy environment. Why not ask the local community if they would prefer trees to be planted on the Water works Lane development, to help absorb the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to help reduce the greenhouse gasses, or if they would prefer to increase the already high volume of traffic going through the village. There has been ongoing objections for the development on Peel Hall. Since the start of the application for development the environmental issues have increased, with flooding to local areas, plus the pandemic, It is important to the residence to protect the ponds, wildlife including toads Newts, pipit bats, and would like OUR council to do the same. Yes there is a hefty monitory value in selling green belt land for development, but if the council decides to put money before people's health, and the impact on the environment, then they are blatantly using their power to do anything but protect and support local communities and the environment. It is at last refreshing to see the government taking steps to protect green belt, we are hoping our local councils can take the same approach. There is other land available they is not on green belt land, an example is land for sale next to the poplars pub in Orford, a project in this area would produce more affordable houses. Even wind farms on the field would be more eco friendly.
