Representation ID: 22609

Received: 19/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Peggy Goodberry

Representation Summary:

Little Common has been over developed in recent years and with further development planned, the traffic will cause excessive strain on the road infrastructure as well as the increased headcount over stretching vital services.

I believe the development of the Spindlewood site is ill conceived because of the following reasons:
1. Inadequate road infrastructure
2. Increased traffic @A259 intersection in Little Common, compounded by the recent opening of the link road
3. Little Common school is at full capacity
4. Little Common surgery is close to full capacity
5. A by pass would eleviate heavy traffic through the village
6 alternative sites have been identified which would be more appropriate
7. A reduction of green space and erosion of the surrounding coutryside
8. Restricted access points at Spindlewood would create traffic
Build up and safety risk to pedestrians
9. With the pending development of Barnhorn Green so close by, services would be wholly inadequate
10. Further demands on utilities
11. Parking in Little Common is sparse and on road parking in all roads leading to the High Sreet at full capacity
