Many residents of Elvetham Heath and the surrounding area are opposed to the development of a Lidl and drive through restaurant. We want Hart District Council to reject the planning application.
Why is this important?
The proposed development would more than double the size of an existing tarmacked area and remove trees and vegetation to accommodate a supermarket, a drive-through restaurant and parking for over 170 cars.
It would:
Run counter to national and local policy and guidance which strongly supports a town centre first approach.
Harm the landscape, trees and ecology.
Increase traffic congestion throughout the entire residential development of Elvetham Heath.
Increase the already harmful levels of air pollution.
Generate increased traffic noise, plus increased noise from parking cars, delivery lorries, clattering supermarket trolleys, plus engine noise and loud music from traffic using the drive through restaurant.
Generate more litter and anti-social behaviour.
How it will be delivered
The petition will be submitted as a list of signatory names and postcodes, in electronic and hardcopy formats to Hart District Council as an input to the public consultation for the planning application.
