I walk or run to work during Spring and Summer along Stoneham lane, through Stoneham Park and along Chestnut Avenue. It's the best commute a man could wish for... fresh air, woodpeckers, cattle, horses goldfinches, swifts and swallows and blackberries. This development would deprive me and many local people of accessible rural open space.
In the winter I cycle to work along Stoneham Lane. This development is going to increase congestion on all surrounding roads. Stoneham Lane is not a road designed for a high volume of traffic(whether you're on a bike or in a car). There is major congestion and delays daily on Chestnut Avenue at peak times. Where is the wisdom of adding another 1300+ cars onto our crowded roads.? Say no to this development.

Is Stoneham Park still under threat - if so why only 390 signatures. It is a fascinating and historic area in a part of the world which has all too few of these

From my address in Magpie Lane it already takes me an hour each morning to get as far as Winchester (8 miles?). Chestnut Avenue is already a major route - even the Council organise waste collections at abnormally early hours to avoid contributing to acknowledged congestion. This development is nothing less that wreckless commercial rape of the landscape and abuse of the existing residents. Do the right thing; ABANDON this development.

1.EBC admit that Stoneham Lane and Chestnut Avenue are both overloaded already, as are the M3 & M27 Motorways and the Junctions at Leigh Road and Stoneham.
2.Poor Air Quality and loss of another "green lung" make this site wrong for housing development
