No agreement.
Although land is potentially suitable for limited development the access from Spindlewood Drive to Little Common via Meads Road is wholly inadequate. Residential parking in Meads Road is at best at maximum capacity and at times totally dangerous.
The junction of Meads Road into Cooden Sea Road is poor and dangerous due to lines of sight.
Additional vehicle movements from Spindlewood Drive south into Maple Walk will present a real and present danger due to lack of pedestrian pavement and narrowness of existing road way.
The cumulative effect of the, now approved developments BX120 and larger Barnhorn Green site if coupled with BEX9 would have a major impact on Little Common.
Road capacity at Little Common A259 roundabout is currently full at peak times.
Air quality of stationary/slow moving vehicles will create health hazards for young and old.
Where will the children from the cumulative developments be schooled and how will they be ferried to infant/ junior education facilities?
Medical facilities, given the current and future age profile of the Little Common catchment are at maximum capacity now.
The development site is outside of the existing Develoment Boundary.
This site must be rejected or significantly be scaled down if the problems envisaged are to be overcome.
Once the developments of the Greater Barnhorn Green, as approved, have been completed AND the residential sites are fully occupied a true assessment of the REAL impact on Little Common and its environs can be made or consulted upon.
