Local plan scoping consultation
Identifying and assessing sites

Respondent: John Foster
My wife and I read with dismay, about the theoretical build of a large number of houses in Ashley,
We are objecting because this 291-hectare proposal would destroy the character of Ashley. We live
in a small rural village with no facilities and a station that barely runs an hourly service, so calling
it well connected feels untrue. Every road into Ashley crosses a narrow bridge, and the thought
of heavy traffic pouring through them is frightening. This is beautiful Green Belt countryside and
productive farmland, surrounded by wildlife, historic buildings and peaceful landscapes. Losing
all of that would change Ashley forever. Please do not take this site forward.
We honestly feel, the proposal is ludicrous in every way possible.
