How much more green space are they going to take over it’s getting beyond a joke far to many new houses being built in what is already has a heavily congested area massive lack of infrastructure .

Apart from the effect on wildlife etc how on earth are we in the Mounthooly Estate to get out of our street with all that extra traffic? Traffic is bad enough on Frogston Road.

What is the point of green belts if they can be built on? The infrastructure is struggling to cope with the local population as it is.

Please leave our greenbelt alone! Protect our wildlife and our lovely walks around these fields. Frogston Road can't cope with any more traffic. What about schools, GPs and Dental Practices that are all already bursting at the seams! No more houses on Frogston Road.

Public services are already at saturation point. Until there can be cast iron guarantees that new schools, drs surgeries etc will be built at the same time as house construction, this development should be stopped. If it’s ever allowed it should be confined to housing young people can afford, not “luxury” expensive homes.

We don't have the infrastructure for more housing in this area. Look at the increase of horrific accidents on the Edinburgh Bypass. Frogston Road and Edinburgh Bypass always at grid lock. There is also a lot of wildlife in that area that would be destroyed .

Land should be protected as green belt - enough developments in area and already significant pressure on public services, traffic etc.

This is going to be problematical with lack of infrastructure and increased traffic . We need green belt land to allow fresh air to get a chance.

I am totally against this development. The infrastructure is already compromised by all the new builds over the last few years and cannot take any more builds. Also this is green belt and should not be built on.

The area does not have the infrastructure (school and GP) to support any further development

We are still dealing with sewer issues from the houses built uphill from The Murrays. There seems to be consistent plans to fill in all green space up to the bypass. This is unacceptable. Plus more houses and people with no increase to infrastructure - in fact they have decreased the frequency of our buses after building more houses.

Too many new builds with no thought to the lack of G.P. surgeries, dentists, schools, leisure facilities and play areas for kids. The roads around are in a terrible state and thoroughly congested with traffic. Too many green areas, fields trees disappearing along with the wildlife.

Why are we not protecting the Greenbelt? Stop this planning application.

I don’t believe more houses are what is needed to be done with this field. It is a lovely area to walk to dogs, have a family walk and the kids would be so upset to loose the little track to cycle their bikes on.

No money spent on infrastructure
