I do NOT agree with preferred sites, especially BX116.
BX116 would put intolerablestrain on the A259 and Little Common, particularly in view of the Barnhorn Green development.
Access via Meads Road/Spindlewood Drive is wrong as roads are suitable for increased traffic.
There are better alternatives.
BX124 is a brownfield site which should be given preference, and would give better access to local infrastructure. Extension by BX125 (Option 3) would be sensible.
BX101 is brownfield site that should be given preference over BX116. Whilst access is better, it would still present problems to the A259 and other roads south of this.
I do NOT agree with the preferred sites that have been proposed, especially BX116.
BX116 would put intolerable additional strain on the A259 and on Little Common as a whole, particularly in view of the Barnhorn Green development that is already proceeding.
Any access via Meads Road or Spindlewood Drive is wrong as neither road is suitable for the increased traffic that would apply.
There are better alternatives which would benefit new and existing residents to a far greater extent.
BX124 is a brownfield site which should always be given preference, and would give much better access to the existing local infrastructure with none of the disruption. Extension by BX125 and implementation of Option 3 would be much more sensible.
BX101 is another brownfield site that should be given preference over BX116. Whilst access is better, it would still present problems to the A259 and to other roads to the south of this.
