changes will add another 5,000 vehicle movements per day to Trinity Road, which is already at full capacity during the morning and evening rush hour.

The lane is a quiet country lane and is completely unsuitable for a development of this size.

Recently there was a further proposal for building at

Lenacre Hall farm which was turned down by the council and on appeal by the planning inspector as it was considered an unsuitable development for a quiet country lane.

I wondered at what point Ashford Borough Council will actually say enough is enough? Tim Hanley

The proposed development planned for Eureka Business Park is vastly different to that agreed in the Ashford Borough Local Plan.

The land involved is much valued by the local residents. I often walk down the footpath to the fishing lake and it is a tiny slice of peaceful paradise.

It is abuzz with insect life and I often see a heron and many lovely butterflies.

There are rare plants here too. I do not think the benefits of a rural walk like this can be underestimated for the health and enjoyment of the local population. It gives us an opportunity to relax and breathe.

The Ashford local plan provides for just 375 houses and I understand that in 2012 residents agreed a Master Plan, showing architecturally pleasing offices spaced out in a parkland setting. Having houses built next to the offices would destroy this concept.

Surely this part of Ashford could be spared and seen for the asset it is.
