The proposal could place additional pressure on local GP surgeries, NHS services, roads, policing and community facilities. Residents have not been properly consulted on a change of this scale. Concerns also remain regarding community impact, safeguarding and the site’s proximity to UK and US military facilities. Alternative locations should be considered.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":21,"created_at":"2026-06-26T17:11:01.569Z","updated_at":"2026-07-23T12:05:27.284Z","rejected_at":"2026-07-23T12:05:24.210Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-26T17:21:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"local","details":"This concerns a local matter.
