once again green spaces are to be taken from Twerton area - why was Animal Farm not allowed to have this space. Traffic on Hollow already very heavy and often speeding. The access and parking for proposed development are ludicrous. Developers of Cotswold View were refused permission to build further onto this land - how can Somer then be allowed to do so? Leave our green spaces alone, Somer and BANES!!

WE MOVED TO THE HOLLOW BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND WE HAVE WITNESSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WHERE CARS HAVE SMASHED IN THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT.
TWERTON AND SOUTHDOWN ARE FAMOUS FOR THE FARM AND THE SURROUNDING GREEN FIELDS, WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE BE IN FAVOUR OF BUILDING THIS CONCERETE JUNGLE...
WE WILL GIVE THE SAVE THE HILLSIDE CAMPAIGN OUR FALL SUPPORT

We agree with the comments, above, the proposed accessway is an accident waiting to happen and the proposed development would impact greatly on the area. The loss of the views and wildlife would be a great shame - we shall also be supporting the Save the Hillside Campaign.

If the development takes place, all the properties will have a view directly into the rear of our house, both upstairs and downstairs, as well as the patio, in effect we will have no privacy at all. The houses will also take away a great deal of light from the whole of the houses numbered 6-9, as we face South. The new properties will take all the sun away for most of the year. This is in addition to all the other objections, such as access, view from accross the valley. and building on what is still classed as white land.

There may be a need for more housing but I can see why residents of Twerton regularly say that "Twerton gets dumped on". Plans to demolish our video shop and takeaway to build more homes, together with an application to construct a concrete sprawl next to Bath City Farm, convey the impression that Twerton is to be built upon to the point of demolishing or impairing our local amenities.
If there were plans to build 30 or so houses on a grassy slope at Englishcombe, all Hell would break loose. But it's 'okay' to do it to Twerton, over and over again.
