Bradgate Conservatives have serious concerns about these planning applications.
We have already seen more than 660 houses built in Anstey since 2011. There are also planning applications submitted for a further 420 houses off Groby Road, Anstey.
We feel that we have taken our fair share of development within our village.
These additional houses will create serious traffic congestion on our already congested roads and in our village centre.
These applications will damage the rural, village feel of Anstey and Newtown Linford.
Developers already view Anstey as a town but we are very much a village. We are ‘The Gateway to Charnwood Forest’.
Consequently, we would like as many residents as possible to send in their comments and concerns to these planning applications.
Please support us in trying to stop this over development of our village.
What your Borough and County Councillors say:
David says “This will have an impact on Newtown Linford with the extra traffic flowing through the village, especially to and from the M1 North and will add to the severe levels of traffic in The Nook.”
Deborah says “Anstey is the 'Gateway to Charnwood Forest'. Our village is gridlocked and bursting at the seams. We cannot take any further housing growth and this development will have a detrimental effect on our residents’ lives."
Paul says “There will be capacity issues for our already stretched local services within Anstey. There is also limited parking available in the village centre for residents to use for accessing their vital local services.”
Please focus your comments on material planning considerations as to how these two planning applications will affect you.
Examples are:
- Highway and Pedestrian Safety
- Traffic and Parking Issues (The Nook is at severe levels)
- Impact on Agricultural Land, Green Spaces and Conservation Areas
- Raised Pollution Levels
- Impact on our Community
- Impact on our already stretched Local Services
- Drainage and Flooding Risks
- Effect on Trees, Wildlife/Nature Conservation
- Impact on character or appearance of area
