Dear Woking Borough Council,

With reference to the consultation on proposed exchange of common
land at Westfield Common in the letter from Peter Bryant dated 21
September 2009, I would be grateful if the following information
could be provided:

1) Number of people who wrote into Mr Bryant regarding the proposal
(total number of responses)

2) Number of people who wrote in with objections (total number of
objections).

3) A breakdown of the responses.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Corney,

Thank you for your e-mail.

The replies to your questions are:-

1. 21.
2. 16.
3. There were objections to the principle of development at Moor Lane;
the area should not be developed to meet housing needs; premature to
consult before access points have been determined; the land offered in
substitution is inadequate; too soon to comment on application;
inconsistencies between common land application and planning
application; insufficient notice given; abuse of common land; no
objection to exchange; exchange land already common land; flora and
fauna will be decimated; loss of trees; increased flood risk; exchange
land is best area to be exchanged.

For example, several of the back-gardens in Moor Lane were once again swamped as the ground was already saturated and the local drainage could not cope.

Interestingly, the proposed housing site was also somewhat overcome as you can see from the pictures below:

So this begs the question of where will all this water go when there are hundreds of houses on this site?

Answer that, Woking Borough Council.
