From a personal point of view and as a Director of the Abington Road Management Association. I have lived on this Estate for 46 years and therefore well versed on the history and geography of the Estate.

It has been increasingly difficult for a number of years to attain planning permission for any type of residential improvements. There is no consistency where residents are granted or refused planning application and it would be useful to have some sensible guidelines before residents go forward with plans.

Indeed, it should also be recognised that there are substantial horticultural businesses of long standing which should be looked at sympathetically when considering your neighbourhood plan.

In my opinion, on the larger plots, an extra dwelling of a sensible size would be feasible. The roads are in good order and could sustain more traffic so long as the roads continue to be maintained to their present standard and the passing bays kept clear.
