I have lived in kislingbury for over 30 years and believe this development is not suitable due to flooding and the infrastructure is not there to accommodate this amount of properties

As well as the formation increased flood risk; beech lane is a small road which we use regularly to walk to the village park and other amenities. Making this area busier would limit the children's freedom with making their own way around the village due to increasing traffic in this area of the village. Camp lane houses active working farm and related traffic which would be impeded by construction and further housing. It's a well trod dog walking path and would significantly impact village life.

Beech lane just cannot handle that traffic it’s madness

kislingbury is a small village with outstanding character. Expanding would add pressure on the small roads hardly wide enough for two small cars and the entry/exit from the village is severely restricted to single way traffic over an old stone bridge

In theory it is not accessable for that amount of traffic for 58 dwellings

Protect our village and children from even more traffic and flooding including our historic bridge

The developers have no interest of the damage they will do to the local environment. All they want to do is profit from an opportunity to make money. In a village hall meeting they said they would not be held responsible for the increased risk of flooding saying that was the environmental agency’s responsibility and the non provision of footpath along Beech Lane which would keep our children safe, was the responsibility of the highways agency. They show no responsibility outside the development.

This proposed development has a number of reasons for objections. These include, contravention of by-laws, privacy of local housing, significant traffic increase in a country lane impacting on the safety of children exiting the local playing field, pedestrians in the lane and horse riders. The development will impact the local flora and fauna and eco system and increase the impact of recent flooding. There’s further detail in the hundreds of objections raised by local residents & parish council.

This is a historical ridge & furrow field and must be preserved as such. Beech Lane is not suitable for more traffic as is Camp Lane too. Flooding is a major issue to the village and more housing will only exasperate this.

Flooding already stops me leaving my home. More houses means even less drainage so more flooding. Why should we be trapped?

Over population, flood risks, housing value

My friend lives in the village and parking is a nightmare. Keep it as a village, not part of Upton , which will eventually happen if it goes ahead.

This will have a massive impact on traffic & potentially cause more flooding.

This lane is how my son and I walk to the park. It is a country lane, with sheep in the field beside it, and that walk is part of daily life here. Building on it changes the lane into a road through an estate. Most of us moved here, or stayed here, because Kislingbury is a village. We do not want it to keep growing outwards, and this is the point at which to say so.

This is over development of the site and will have a huge impact on the community and surrounding residents. There is a high risk of flooding, poor drainage, poor roads, impact on the environment, noise levels, would increase traffic and overall impact on local amenities.

Beech Lane won’t cope with any more traffic. Any more development will greatly impact on flooding.

Because of the wildlife that’s there and we need some green space saving
