HELAA site 40041 Kings Gate site, Villa Road, Impington
HELAA site 40232 Land west of South Road, Impington
HELAA site 40236 Land north-east of Villa Road, Impington
HELAA site 40239 Kingsgate Land off Villa Road, Impington
I strongly object to proposals 40041, 40232, 40236 and 40239. Any of these applications will permanently remove greenbelt land, hugely increase traffic volumes on narrow suburban roads, increase flood/drainage risks in an already flood-prone area, increase A14 North bypass traffic loading, increase pressure on over-strained local GP and schools as well as damaging the typical Fen edge character of our village. The 40232 and 40239 proposals are on a scale vastly out of scale with the rest of the village and the proposals by the developer attempt to minimize or obscure these harms with unrealistic and unsubstantiated claims.
