Travel disruption with 2 years of construction traffic on already awful road surfaces and country lanes full of potholes. Traffic is already high through Walton with no set date for the new bridge to be built Noise - we opted to move to a village location for peaceful life, the constant noise of the facility when it opens will disruption this as well as the increased traffic. Flooding - already an issue with the new development at drakelow, taking natural flood plains and increased building could make this worse. Already unable to safely leave the village on several occasions in the last 12 months Loss of arable farmland - why take perfectly good arable land and destroy natural environment, build on brownfield site with better road access. Property prices - decrease in property value as it will no longer be a peaceful village with all the extra traffic, noise and pollution.
