Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 22146

Received: 01/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Robert Lewis

Representation Summary:

1) Meads Road/Spindlewood Drive for vehicular access is totally inappropriate. Neither Road is wide enough.

2) The 90degree angle turn at junction of Meads Road/Spindlewood Drive would not cater for large lorries. Gateway in Spindlewood Drive is on a bend in the narrow road.

3) Junction of Meads Road/Cooden Sea Road is currently dangerous particularly exiting Meads Road and turning right into Cooden Sea Road.

4) Only sensible access is from Barnhorn Road but that would present major traffic problems.

5) The reduction in the quality of life of residents would be substantial.

6) BX124 is much more appropriate.

1) The use of Meads Road and Spindlewood Drive for vehicular access to the proposed site (BX116) is totally inappropriate. Neither Road is wide enough to accommodate the heavy vehicles that would need to be involved.

2) The 90degree angle turn at the junction of Meads Road with Spindlewood Drive would not cater for large lorries. The actual proposed gateway in Spindlewood Drive is on a bend in the narrow road which would make it more dangerous than it is already.

3) The junction of Meads Road with Cooden Sea Road is currently dangerous to negotiate particularly if one is existing Meads Road and turning right into Cooden Sea Road.

4) The only sensible potential access to Site BX116 would be from Barnhorn Road (A259) but that too would present major traffic problems.

5) The reduction in the quality of life of all residents in the neighbourhood would be substantial.

6) Site BX124 would be much more appropriate.
