I object strongly to the proposal of housing and commercial developments in Ashley.
- Green belt essential farming land needs to remain productive.
- Transport to Ashley is limited with only one small train station and no buses. There are regular road closures due to weak unstable bridges so extra traffic would cause more chaos and congestion.
- Beautiful green space needs to remain to protect wildlife, woodland and nature reserves.
