The Council objects to the proposed allocation of 30 dwellings as being major over-development. It proposes a maximum of 20 dwellings, and development to be in keeping with the character of the area and sympathetic to the local residents and their properties. The Council supports the local resident’s group in their assertion that the land was bequeathed to two charities who mainly provide services for the elderly and the owners of the land should respect the spirit of the bequest

Density too high . Would be suited to single storey elderly accommodation

Support for proposed housing development on land at Trendlewood Way, Nailsea

High density housing and a convenience store will not benefit the local community, nor respect the intentions of the benefactor. In particular, a shop will change the residential nature of the surrounding development. And the badgers living in the adjacent woodland will have their range curtailed. Please consider alternatives more sympathetic to the local community: low density housing; day care facilities for the elderly; or (preferably) allotments!

Trendlewood Way - how to benefit the community.

In addition to the presence of bats there is a badger sett under this land. The badgers are seen most nights and the entrances to the sett can be seen in the woodland. The land was left for the benefit of the community. To be sure the intentions of the benefactor are honoured, and that the two charities retain the trust of the community, the community should be specifically consulted on the most appropriate use of the land.

Over development, unsympathetic to the local area, increasing strain on local infrastructure, disrupting wildlife habitat and against the wishes of benefactor Mary Shepstone deceased.
