I’m 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.
