Common sense must prevail and our already overcrowded but beautiful village must be protected from profit hungry builders and prospectors eating away without a second thought for its history and heritage.

It's disgusting how many houses have been thrown up in Queensbury as it is. Our infrastructure is already at breaking point regardless of greenbelt or not. STOP BUILDING IN QUEENSBURY.

The infrastructure of Queensbury is past its capacity. To suggest building further houses, with insufficient school places, health capacity, banks, leisure facilities, and childcare is ludicrous. The roads are gridlocked, and there are very few green spaces for our children to play on. Green belt land should be preserved for the future.

We need investment in infrastructure, schools and facilities
We are losing too much green space it has to stop. Plus it's becoming an absolute nightmare at peak times to move about my own village due to the volume of traffic.

green belt should stay green belt, there's more than enough houses already being built we don't need anymore

We need more roads before we need more houses. There are already too many accidents on our overstretched roads without adding more local traffic.

We struggle with traffic, schools and doctors. Nothing for teenagers to do apart from hanging on the street.

please leave some countyside for our village. when I moved to Queensbury in 1979 it was beautiful . Now it has turned into a town with all the building work. The traffic is horrendous since Tesco was built on Brighouse and Denholme Gate road. We want our environment to be clean from pollution and a good place to live.

As above. There is one common theme here and it simply cannot be ignored. Anyone can see on any given rush hour that the infrastructure is already at breaking point and the catchment area is way beyond maximum. Long time residents with generation familial ties to the village cannot school there children here as the schools are already full and the health service the same. The green belt area of Fleet Lane is particularly beautiful, with panoramic scenic views for miles of which will be gone forever. The main issues here are Fleet Lane and Oxford Road at their junctions to the A647 CANNOT be widened as the are already densely populated. These roads are narrow with existing severe congestion issues due to their width. Oxford Road has a one way system with even narrower roads (one section being around 10 feet wide), this will inevitably create a 'Corn Feeder' problem that will back up these and any joining thoroughfare and create gridlock (not to mention the amount of temporary traffic lights that pop up frequently causing massive delays) . Common sense must prevail and our already overcrowded but beautiful village must be protected from profit hungry builders and prospectors eating away without a second thought for its history and heritage.

I think it's disgusting that the council can order these dwellings willy-nilly without any thought for the infrastructure (roads,schools) and no consideration for the Queensbury community

The infrastructure in Queensbury is already stretched. The primary schools won't be able to accommodate the numbers as they are already maxed out. Adding in somewhere between 500 - 1000 extra vehicles will only end in more congestion, pollution and danger. There are no major roads at that end of the village.
