I strongly object to the proposed development in Ashley. Ashley is a beautiful rural parish with a stunning landscape and it is helping to produce food for the nation, something we are already not self sufficient in which should be a priority with the uncertain geopolitical situation in the world today.
In addition Ashley is green belt and green belt is there for a reason and should not be swept away willy nilly.
The transport links to Ashley are not as connected as claimed.
In summary I strongly object to the new housing developments in Ashley.
