I WAS interested to read the article about the planning application for flats in Wigginton (April 12).

As an objector to the scheme, I hope the council will refuse the application because it is the wrong size, wrong design, will create more traffic hazards and be detrimental to the local historical and natural environment.

Wigginton is a friendly and inclusive community and I don't believe any section should be singled out regarding the application.

It is sad that some emotive points have been raised about the use of the flats and it distracts from the fact that the proposal represents a huge over-development of the site and is not suited to a village environment.
