Stop housing developments - Green Belt, Walton on Thames, Surrey

Comments

#3

There is no way the roads can cope and the area has been identified as strongly performing greenbelt

(Walton on thames, 2017-04-17)

We need to protect our Green Belt land. This has huge implications for the issue of proposed drvelopment on Green Belt land between Hinchley Wood and Long Ditton. We need to strongly oppose all this proposed developments - it's bad for our health and well-being - and our infrastructure would collapse under the pressure. How dare they take it futter when EVERYONE is objecting to it?

Surrey has lots of natural beauty which should be preserved. I agree housing is needed however not at the cost of out beautiful country side.

(Cheam, 2017-04-17)

I do not want any housing on green belt land in Walton on Thames.

(Walton on Thamed, 2017-04-17)

#9

This is the blatant destruction of green belt land, removing essential flood plain that currently protects several thousand properties, puts unacceptable pressure on an already over burdened infrastructure and even more pollution from all the additional vehicle movements that this development would bring.
This development will also destroy the lives of many hundreds of people living in the vicinity.

(Walton-on-Thames, 2017-04-17)

#10

We have been through this - and there is plenty of evidence in the 1123 arguments against Drake Park on the planning portal to show why this development shouldn't go ahead.

(West Molesey, 2017-04-17)

#11

I object because the infrastructure cannot cope, people wouldn't be able to afford the supposedly affordable housing, wildlife and green belt would be destroyed, our way of life would be changed forever and all for greed

(Walton On Thames, 2017-04-17)

#12

This application has been refused for a myriad of valid reasons. These reasons haven't changed whatsoever! Just get rid d of this crappy little contractor out to line their grubby pockets and don't care they are desecrating green belt that can NEVER be regained!

(West Molesey, 2017-04-17)

#13

This land is Greenbelt land and I strongly oppose this development. This has already been refused by SCC. The traffic congestion in our area is already at breaking point and this will add to the misery of the local residents. The infrastructure is just not here to accommodate this size of development. Trains going to London from Hersham station in peak times at full to the brim with standing options only.

(Walton-on-Thames, 2017-04-17)

#14

With a majority of 1140 objecting vs. just 41 supporting, this would be an outrage if this went ahead - we live in a democracy, so I know the right decision will be made.

(Walton-On-Thames, 2017-04-17)

#17

This area of Greenbelt needs to be preserved exactly as it is to prevent the sprawl of housing that would otherwise coalesce the communities of Walton, Hersham, Molesey and Esher and overwhelm this area.

(Walton-on-Thames, 2017-04-17)

#18

There are enough house going up in the area already especially with Rydens school also with more housing means more flooding when we have heavy rain

(Walton, 2017-04-17)

#20

the roads cannot take the traffic it is on green belt and Walton is overpopulated

(walton on thames, 2017-04-17)

#21

I object to the Drake Park development on green belt land.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-17)

#23

No infrastructure to cope. Molesey Road already congested daily ( I cycle every day to work so know) without the extra 2000 plus cars that will bring . I could go on list is endless. South east has over a quarter of the population in it already
??!!

(West Molesey Surrey, 2017-04-17)

#30

Drake Park development is totally unsuitable for our area.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-17)

#31

Although I agree that there is a huge and necessary need for cheap affordable housing. There should be a proper investigation into the traffic that will be generated. Whether there is a need for another school, yes, and most definitely a new doctors surgery for this and other subsequent area's of choice..

(West Molesey, 2017-04-17)

#32

The Drake Park development is an inappropriate use for the land. Make it a green space that people can use.

(Hersham, 2017-04-17)

#33

strongly oppose use of green belt land for simply wrong planning, without regard to the horrendous impact on the local area

(walton on thames, 2017-04-17)

#37

roads will be too congested.its a problem at hersham station already

(walton on thames, 2017-04-17)

#41

I dobt wabt Walton to be urbanised . It is a beautiful green area and I enjoy visiting it because of the environment there. Please do not build around the reservoir and Rydens Rd area.

(Bedfont, 2017-04-17)

#46

The area of the development is precious green belt. The local infrastructure, particularly the roads, cannot sustain the additional strain that the development can place on it. In addition, the developers areverging on the vexatious with their repeated re-applications and appeals after their applications have failed.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-17)

#48

This has already been voted on and it was a unanimous 19-0 victory. The area has also recently been classified as highly performing green belt. The roads, junctions and bridges in this area are already classed as beyond capacity

(Walton on thames, 2017-04-17)

#49

Traffic, the area can't cope now at rush hour

(Walton on thames, 2017-04-17)

#53

I have lived in Netley Drive for 30 years and feel Drake Park would seriously affect the surrounding roads and would destroy the green belt

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-17)

#55

Greenbelt is land that should not be built on, hence why it was made greenbelt.

(shepperton, 2017-04-17)

#57

The people and councillors have already made their views on this development very clear. We don't want it.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-17)

#61

Councillors have already unanimously objected to this development. As a local resident I am opposed to a development on green belt in a region that struggles to cope with the current population. The roads, trains, public services: schools, health service cannot cope with the current population. This development should not go ahead.

(Esher, 2017-04-17)

#62

The area is beautiful but already overcrowded

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-17)

#63

We need to maintain the Green Belt.

(Hersham, 2017-04-17)

#66

The reason for having the Green Belt is more pressing than ever

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-17)

#67

To protect our green belt

(Hersham, 2017-04-17)

#69

I have serious concerns about the local infrastructure, primarily the roads, to support the development

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-17)

#70

Building on Green Belt mst NOT be permitted

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-17)

#72

This development is completely out of sync with infrastructure available.

(East Molesey, 2017-04-17)

#74

This area simply cannot accommodate more people and the resulting traffic

(Hersham, 2017-04-17)

#75

This couldn't be a more inappropriate proposal for the area in so very many ways

(hersham, 2017-04-17)

#78

I've lived in Hersham all my life and the difference in traffic is insane. Roads can not cope with any more people!

(Hersham, 2017-04-17)

#79

This area is already overcrowded. There are no school places. All GP surgeries are now at capacity and traffic is congested. The infrastructure will not support a development like this. In addition there is a very big housing project unnderway just a mile away at the Halfway on the site of the old Birds Eye building. The area is at saturation point.

(Hersham, 2017-04-17)

#84

I live in Walton and already it is too congested. The traffic is terrible especially around the rydens area. Our school has already had to go from 2 to 3 forms per year and the facilities and provisions in road safety have not been increased with it. There needs to be green belt for wildlife!

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-17)

#85

The infrastructure cannot sustain a build of this size

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-17)

#86

I live locally and we do not need even more houses taking over our community

(Surrey, 2017-04-17)

#91

We have enough cars on our roads.
The land where Drakes Park is to built on is floI'd release land.
I could go on.

(Hersham, 2017-04-18)

#94

The location and size of this development is completely inappropriate. The local infrastructure is struggling now with the railway bridge at Hersham and river bridge as bottle necks. Peak hour trains are already at full capacity despite this being advertised as a commuter development. Above all the green belt is strongly performing and is essential to prevent urban sprawl. The development would be a disaster and ruin the area.

(Walton-on-Thames, 2017-04-18)

#98

I am vehemently opposed to any further development of Greenbelt in my town!

(Walton-on-Thames, 2017-04-18)

#99

I am signing this petition owing to the lack of appropriate road traffic plans and the lack of drainage plans for the site.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-18)

#100

The area needs to keep this countryside

(East Molesey, 2017-04-18)

#101

I am opposed to the continual encroachment of the green belt

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-18)

#106

I was a resident of King George Avenue until 12 months ago when I sold my property and left the area due to over development spoiling my access to green areas. I'm signing note in support of those who have no option but to stay.

(Guildford, 2017-04-18)

#107

It is already impossible to leave my drive in the morning to get to work
The natural habitat of toads, hedgehogs and other threatened species will disappear
The development is rediculously huge
The developers could not give me an example of a successful garden village elsewhere in the country (or the world for that matter)
The developers are money grabbing-hiding behind 'affordable housing'-untrue
elmbridge is grid locked
Trains are overstretched; many people paying over 4k annually to not even get a seat
Need I go on?

(Walton on thames, 2017-04-18)

#108

negative impact on infrastructure and traffic, ergo on quality of life of residents. Developers refusing to take 'No' for an answer, waging a war of attrition.

(walton on thames, 2017-04-18)

#115

Too much erosion into green belt land - and lack of understanding about the importance of open spaces that are natural in our lives.

(Weybridge, 2017-04-18)

#117

Save the green belt and support the wishes of local people against greedy developers.

(WALTON-ON-THAMES, 2017-04-18)

#118

My house backs onto this green belt. Our roads, schools, doctors are already to full and with all the other housing around here we cannot the area cannot support such a development and taking away this green belt witll give the green light for all other green belts to be built on. There are many other reasons why it should not be allowed.

(Walton on thames, 2017-04-18)

#124

I feel very strongly about this proposed development

(Walton-on-Thames, 2017-04-18)

#125

We have already strongly opposed this monstrous development! Why can't Bonnar Allen take NO for an answer. We want to protect our roads, environment and Green Belt. No way can Walton cope with the extra traffic, transportation. It is already too congested. This development must be stopped.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-18)

#126

It's just the rich getting richer

(Walton on, 2017-04-18)

#127

I'm signing because this area cannot cope with the density of housing as proposed. We do not have the infrastructure in place (or planned for) to cope with the thousands of additional people and vehicles. In addition this area of green space is a vital 'lung' for the community and also acts as a safety measure against future flooding.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-18)

#130

I live very near to this and the traffic along Molesey Road and Rydens Road is already bad with the number of lorries that use rumble at speed along these roads. There has been no responsible transport infrastructure put forward to support any of the proposed developments. Think of our natural wildlife too!

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-18)

#131

we need to preserve our greenbelt and stop big construction projects that are out of proportion to the town and for which we do not have the infrastructure.

(walton on Thames, 2017-04-18)

#135

Greenbelt issues, traffic congestion, flood risk.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-18)

#141

We need to resist the ever increasing development in Elmbridge.

(East Molesey, 2017-04-18)

#142

I'm against building on Green Belt as it would create an urban sprawl in this area

(151 Rydens Rd. Walton on Thames Surrey KT12 3AS, 2017-04-18)

#145

There is too much traffic around here and no change to the infrastructure. Also a total lack of GP's

(West Molesey, 2017-04-18)

#146

We don't have the infrastructure to support such a massive development.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-18)

#149

Walton is already o overpopulated

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-18)

#150

Drake's Park is not suitable for a housing development as the super structure in place cannot support it.

(Walton-on-Thames, 2017-04-18)

#151

We all need to protect our green belt for future generations and not leave a legacy of concrete to our children .

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-18)

#153

I live here and want to protect the land

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-18)

#155

I have objected many times to this application, which was unanimously rejected by Elmbridge Council. I cannot believe it is going to appeal. This development will bring chaos to an already overcrowded transport system and it must not be allowed to destroy the Greenbelt with this monstrosity.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-19)

#160

area is already over populated with inadequate roads utilities schools and facilities , planned development is too big and would impact on quality of life for everybody in area. what part of no do the developers not understand

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-19)

#161

This area is already too congested as the only ways to leave molesey are via bridges. Hospitals​, schools, doctors etc are overcrowded.

(West Molesey, 2017-04-19)

#162

the local roads and public transport are already over capacity and these developments do not take these factors into account, never mind the loss of green spaces.

(Walton-on-Thames, 2017-04-19)

#163

I disagree with development on strongly performing Green Belt land in an already congested area.

(Walton on Thames Surrey KT123AS, 2017-04-19)

#164

In its 8-page objection to the Drake Park application, the CPRE made a very cogent case for preservation of that green belt site. I agree with every word they wrote. Walton has already taken far more than its share of development. The town is now overpopulated and cannot absorb any more. It is vital to preserve our green belt, rather than bury it under more and more housing. We can't allow Walton to become just another extension of London. Weybridge/Hersham/Walton have already coalesced. There is no justification for adding Molesey and Esher as well, to create an endless sprawl of bricks and mortar. Walton needs to keep as much open space as possible.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-19)

#165

The land adjacent to Fieldcommon on Molesey Road is Green Belt, and is classified by Elmbridge Council as 'strongly performing'. It separates the communities of Walton-on-Thames, Hersham, Molesey and Esher and should not be built on.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-19)

#167

this development needs to be stopped, local services can not take the pressure, plus there is suitable brown field areas where a similar number of housing units could be built

(Hersham, 2017-04-19)

#173

I'd like these separate towns and villages to remain separate. We do not have the infra structure or public services to adequately support more housing and people, cars, school age children, patients etc.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-19)

#176

My partner and i have been firmly against this from the start. There is already too much traffic and no room left. To build more houses here is to destroy our greenbelt and we have already built here and it's time Cobham have a turn.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-20)

#178

We just cannot cope with any more traffic on ours road , our schools doctors and other amenities just cannot cope

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-20)

#181

Greenbelt land should stay Greenbelt land.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-20)

#182

This application is against the public interest and , if allowed, would be detrimental to the quality of residents' lives.

(Weybridge, 2017-04-20)

#183

We must save our Green Belt and not give in to the greed of property speculators.

(London Road, 2017-04-20)

#184

Apart from the loss of an invaluable civic amenity, the local infrastructure simply cannot cope with added housing density of this magnitude.

(Esher, 2017-04-20)

#186

We need to save our green belt and our roads, schools and doctors are already full and there are so many new peoperties already being built around the area.

(Walton on thames, 2017-04-20)

#187

Until such time as solutions are found to the traffic problems at places such as Molesey Road/Hersham Station and Rydens Road/Hersham Road, a lot of current proposals for large scale housing development (such as Drake park and the Birdseye building) should not be granted as the number of additional cars resulting from these developments would make the existing significant problems unbearable and create gridlock in Walton.

(Walton-on-Thames, 2017-04-20)

#188

The greenbelt policy was introduced to PROTECT our green areas so there should never be any building proposals on any such land

(Hesham, 2017-04-21)

#189

Green areas are protected by greenbelt legislation, builders, councils and governments should not be allowed to change the rules on certain areas merely because they feel they can. Our green spaces are precious, we should aim to keep them

(Hersham, 2017-04-21)

#190

Greenbelt land is protected, it should stay that way

(Hersham, 2017-04-21)

#191

Because quite simply, it's ludicrous to build more houses in an already over populated area. Currently the infrastructure cannot cope. I can't even begin to imagine the impact this development would have on it should it go ahead.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-21)

#192

overcrowding, excessive traffic, safety for cyclist and school children. lack of school places, doctors and dentists. flooding, pollution are just some of the reasons I object to Drake Park.

(walton on thames, 2017-04-21)

#194

traffic is getting far too heavy, it can take ages to get onto a main road which makes driving and crossing very dangerrous, especially for the young and those with push chairs or wheelchairs.There is also a lot more parking on the main roads make visibility difficult .Accidents and fatalities more likely.There are not enough essential facilities, like doctors, hospital beds, emergency treatment, schools.

(hersham, 2017-04-22)

#198

Greenbelt should stay greenbelt and there is far too much development going on in the area anyway.

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-23)

#200

I disagree entirely with the potentially disastrous development proposed

(Walton on Thames, 2017-04-23)
