Friday evening the 31st August I met with a group of residents who live in the area most impacted by the proposed development in Trull.

We all aggreed there was a need for affordable housing and understand and respect the arguments but also agreed this should not be at any cost to the environment and our green spaces.

The development needs to appropriate which it is not.

There were very carefully considered and measured comments made the majority of which have a direct bearing on a proposal like this.

Th road in question is certainly not able to take the potential 500 traffic movements this development would create.

The schools in the locality would struggle to take the potential influx of children.

The village of Trull would increase in housing and poulation terms by up to 15%.

I am greatly concerned about this development and I hope that the Liberal Democrats at Taunton Deane Borough Council change their mind.
