SAVE THE FIELD - PROTECT EDINBURGH’S GREENBELT!

This is heartbreaking for all the wildlife whom this field is there home, the walks around the field are truly wonderful and during lockdown helped local people with there mental health wellbeing, very few areas like this are in Edinburgh , would be devastating for wildlife and humans alike to loose this

This is greenbelt land. We are already struggling within doctors and dentist practices within this area due to high numbers of new built houses in the last 5 years. Proposed plans not in keeping with the area.

Keep green belt green:

Absolutely no infrastructure for more houses in this area.

A favourite spot for a family walk, with lots of locals, myself included. Be very sad if this is lost to yet more housing.

This is a ridiculously big development in an area where the Infrastructure (roads, medical practices/dental practices) already can’t cope. It is a Greenway area and should remain as such.

We need green spaces

More housing will put too much pressure on all public services and roads.

Strongly against the development of more unnecessary and unobtainable housing. Protect the precious little nature/wildlife we have left. We can always build more housing if it's truly needed. We cannot however, build what will be destroyed if the proposed development were to go ahead.

we need to keep our green belt in Edinburgh - have we forgot how important they were for our mental health, wellbeing and our native wildlife The infrastructure cannot sustain this - from schools, doctors surgery’s and roads for public transport a the number of NHS hospital beds in Edinburgh. We are getting to the stage of a 3/4 lane city bypass. We have huge housing developments in Barton / Turnhouse on the west side of the city and on the east Tranent/Wallyford + on the south Gilmerton/Butdiehouse area. Why is the beautiful city of Edinburgh suffering at the hands of “Developers”

There is already far too much pressure on school places, medical facilities and traffic in the area. This development is completely unnecessary and the extra strain it would place on local services and infrastructure simply is not viable.

Strongly object to the use of green belt in the way.

I opppse this development. I don't think the area can sustain any more houses. The infrastructure is stretched as it is. Also - it is green belt and should be preserved as such.

It’s council houses that are needed not 400k houses that no one can afford

400 new homes. The local infrastructure just can't cope with the impact of this..

Please keep the greenery and wildlife

I strongly oppose to this development.

During Covid people became aware of how important green spaces are to our mental well being. I often walk round this field and enjoy the space and listening to the birds. The yellow hammers in the summer are a particular favourite. Looking over the field from Frogston road on my way home and seeing the view across to the other side of the bypass makes me happy. I would like other people and future generations to enjoy the benefits of this open space and the variety of wildlife that already have a home there. This is the reason I am objecting to the houses being built there. There is also the problem of the traffic already on Frogston Road. There is one way out of Mounthooly Loan and increasingly our exit is blocked due to pressure of traffic, which intensifies when there are incidents causing closures on the bypass.

This development reflects a poor understanding of the area’s recreational value to the south side of the city, proving an extension to safe walks and bike rides. It was a critical city asset in the pandemic. The council must be clear about its respect for the greenbelt. The area also lacks key facilities that are already under heavy stress. Brownfield areas in the city are also yet unused. Altogether it is an unimaginative, unsocial development.

Infrastructure; roads, health and education services in the area cannot support this development
