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

Representation ID: 22863

Received: 14/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Andrew Johnston

Representation Summary:

I strongly disagree with any proposal to develop site BX116.

The proposed access route is totally inappropriate with the roads unable to accept additional traffic. As a resident of Maple Walk I am concerned that traffic from BX116 would use Maple Walk as alternative access/egress. As you know, the road is unadopted and maintained by residents. It is narrow, poorly lit and has no pavements. The road is regularly used by parents walking children to Little Common School and I see a real threat to public safety.

BX124 would have far less environmental impact and benefits from better infrastructure.

I strongly disagree with any proposal to develop site BX116, land to the north of Spindlewood Drive/Maple Walk.

The proposed access route is totally inappropriate with the roads unable to accept additional traffic. As a resident of Maple Walk I am very concerned that traffic from the BX116 site would use Maple Walk as alternative access/egress. As you know, the road is unadopted and maintained by residents. It is narrow, poorly lit and has not pavements. The road is regularly used by parents walking children to Little Common School and I see a real threat to public safety.

The alternative of BX124 would have far less environmental impact and benefits from a better infrastructure.
