Proposed Housing Appeal

Considerations for Proposed Housing Development in Great Glen

The proposed housing development in Great Glen raises concerns about traffic congestion, heritage preservation, and environmental impact.

Key roads like the A6 London Road and Glen Gorse Roundabout already experience congestion, which additional housing may worsen. The area also contains significant historical and environmental assets, including ridge and furrow fields, Little Stretton Chapel (1220), and protected badger setts, all of which require careful consideration.

Additionally, the River Sence is prone to flooding, and further urbanisation could increase flood risks.

Given these factors, a balanced approach is needed to protect the area's infrastructure, heritage, and environment.
