Do not develop the site at all. The area is vastly over populated already.

It will cause increased traffic flow on Meads Road on to the very dangerous junction which leads onto Cooden Sea Road, then onto Little Common Roundabout and the A259 causing even more gridlock and congestion than there already is. Some of the traffic may choose to use Maple Avenue and Maple Road to access Cooden Sea Road further down causing even more mayhem! This will also have a detrimental effect on the air pollution putting some lives at risk!

Once the Barnhorn development of 342 houses is built and the possibility of another 31 properties in the pipeline for Ashridge Court, 10 in Barnhorn Road, 8 plus 9 in Cooden Sea Road, that's 400 more properties, that is approximately 800 vehicles, the area will be gridlocked the vast majority of the time, the present infrastructure will be unable to cope and is already struggling to cope.

This will reduce the quality of life in the surrounding areas, at present the area provides peace, tranquillity, an abundance of wildlife, that will be badly affected, and is a desirable place where people love to live.

The surrounding roads are mostly un-adopted, not suitable for heavy traffic, are in disrepair and will not be able to cope with any more traffic especially the amount that you are proposing.

This Green field site should never be developed, there are far more suitable sites for development, it will ruin the feel and look of the beautiful area beyond recognition, and the community that resides within it. Also it is a high flood risk area.

Notes on 27 also apply.
