SIR,

While I agree with Mr Wilson's comments on the removal of the council's Facebook site, 'A useful tool for all', I totally disagree with his comments about brownfield sites.

These are areas of land loved by people all over the country and should not be covered with unwanted and unneccessary houses, developments that destroy and alter local residents' lives forever, without locals ever really being involved.

As we all know, very few of these developments or dwellings will be an exercise for local people but are for profit and greed.

Of course those in favour do not live anywhere near these developments.

In Wyesham, a good example is we have had a perfectly good buildimg and area of land destroyed for development – a building and land that could have been used by local people and children – just for profit and council tax.

Instead we have a 52-dwelling mud swamp, only four houses sold and two houses occupied so I believe and because these houses are not selling, the developers, again so I believe have moved on leaving MCC to take on, "who's paying".

If all these houses are sold, there is a possible minimum 100-plus vehicles using this site onto Wyesham Road, this is not sustainable.

Now only 100 yards away on a brownfield site, the Diocese of Hereford and Western Power Distribution want to build another 12 unwanted, unneccessary dwellings again purely for profit, as we all know very few of these dwellings will be for local people, (and of course these bodies need the money) and a perfectly good vicarage will be demolished to allow access.

56 people are catered for but only 24 parking spaces are plannned. This is accepted by planning on the basis that 1.4 vehicles will be at each dwelling. That's one car and one pushbike/ motorcycle per house?
