Local plan scoping consultation

Land between Ryecroft Lane and Pavement Lane
I strongly object to the proposed housing allocation on land between Ryecroft Lane and Pavement Lane. This development would result in the loss of valuable open countryside, eroding the rural character and transforming an open, agricultural landscape into a suburban housing estate, built on land which is prone to flooding and the surrounding gardens on Mayfield rd. Moreover, there is a public footpath which is greatly used by the locals and appreciated.
The site is poorly served by existing infrastructure, with local lanes rather than roads already experiencing congestion and limited capacity to accommodate additional traffic creating just more air pollution, carbon emissions and noise and problems such as flood risk. Increased housing would place further pressure on GP services, schools (primary school in Mobberley is full), and other community facilities. The proposal could also harm local biodiversity, wildlife habitats, and landscape quality. More sustainable brownfield sites should be prioritised before releasing greenfield land for residential development in this location. This land separates Mobberley from Knutsford. More development would make Mobberley into a small town joining onto Knutsford. This is not what the local residents wish.
