I write to strongly object to the planning application to build houses in Ashley.

Ashley will not cope with this development, the local area does not have the infrastructure, the transport, nor the services to support increased housing development, and the people who would live there.
This development would destroy farmland, green belt and local nature, historic hedgerows, fields and wildlife would all be severely affected.
The area of Ashley is a significant barrier between the urbanised areas of Hale and Altrincham and local countryside.
This project and suggested development would hugely affect the local area and have a negative effect on the quality of life for people, animals and farming.
Please ensure that the development is rejected and allow traditional country areas to continue to exist unaffected.
I remain extremely concerned about the negative effects and damage that any such development would inevitably bring.
