Representation ID: 22289

Received: 14/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Lynn Walter

Representation Summary:

The Spindlewood Drive site should NOT be considered for development for several reasons:
a) brownfield sites should be considered first
b) there is totally unsuitable access via narrow roads (Meads Rd, Spindlewood Drive, Maple Walk), these roads will not cope with increased traffic; are not suitable for very heavy vehicles.
c) previous traffic surveys have already stated that congestion around Little Common roundabout & along Barnhorn Road are already close to maximum capacity, as is air pollution d) housing density too high for the area. BX124 and BX101 should be more suitable; considered first.
