SAVE OUR GREEN - MONTAGU ESTATE
Please don't build on the last piece of green land on Montagu Estate.
Why is this important?
Investors ISOS wish to build 12 houses on the last field on our estate. This is the last piece of green for our children to play on and people to walk their dogs.
We used to have a strip of green through the estate and now there is only 19% left and they want to take that away from us also.
There are other sites (brown field) which are ready for development, but in less desirable areas.
If they developed on our Burnfoot Way site this would have a detrimental impact upon residential amenities and the standard of living for the whole community, reduce house prices for private owners, prevent the disabled and elderly from any visible greenery.
• With no place to go our children will not be able to play.
• A possible 30-40 people to share what is left of our space.
• Over-development will crowd our area with more brick and square walls, leaving little to no character left.
• For 6 months to a year our area will be flooded with noise and smell from construction of these buildings.
• Loss of privacy.
• Overshadowing/loss of light on roads and bottom floor flats.
• Public services, such as drainage and water supply.
• Highway safety is compromised: traffic generation, road capacity, means of access, visibility, car parking and effects on pedestrians/cyclists.
