Great Abington LSA Estate - Designating a Neighbourhood Area - June 2016

Representation ID: 166250

Received: 06/07/2016

Respondent: Tania and Mike O'Farrell

Representation Summary:

My husband and I wholeheartedly support the proposal for a neighbourhood plan for the area defined as the old LSA.

There have been many changes with the nature of the businesses run changing from general agriculture, then moving to more specialized intensive horticulture with acres of greenhouses. The majority of these greenhouses have been dismantled.

The traffic during this time increased with more intensive horticulture, however since the government abandonment of the scheme and subsequent sell off in 1984 the volumes of traffic have lowered.

My husband and I wholeheartedly support the proposal for a neighbourhood plan for the area defined as the old LSA.

As residents of the old LSA and former growers we have lived here for 60 years.

In that time there have been many changes with the nature of the businesses run changing from general agriculture, then moving to more specialized intensive horticulture with acres of greenhouses. The majority of these greenhouses have been dismantled.

The traffic during this time increased with more intensive horticulture, however since the government abandonment of the scheme and subsequent sell off in 1984 the volumes of traffic have lowered.

I reiterate our support for this plan.
