I think it is utterly ludicrous that while leaders from across the whole have gathered in COP26 to try and solve the climate crisis, the greatest threat of our generation, you are proposing to remove green space for housing. It is becoming clearer and clearer that green space is not only essential to try to stop climate change, but also for personal health and well being. I implore you not to go ahead with this development.

To highlight more specific risks about the proposed OS4 development. The area planned for development is boggy and marshy. It is of high flood risk and had flooded before in the past. More over if the green space and their plants and vegetation is removed (a natural flood risk preventative measure) this will put some of the existing neighbouring housing and primary school at increased risk of flooding.

The infrastructure in the area is not sufficient to deal with this new large development. Every school in Lymm is over subscribed. The local roads are already crammed and the development is on whitbarrow road, which has a single file area with a sharp bend, the increased traffic through here would not only be chaotic, but dangerous. The local amenities, schools and GP surgeries are insufficient to deal with the increased demand.
