Site BX 116 is considered to be inappropriate for development. More appropriate sites would be BX101 at Northeye - a brownfield site which should always have preference and site BX124 - NBAR link road - options 2 or 3 which will have better infrastructure access to essential services such as doctors, schools, pharmacies and hospital.

The proposed access into Spindlewood Drive and the Meads Road is impractical. Because of the number of vehicles currently parked in these roads by residents and non-resident both roads are restricted to a single carriageway. The additional traffic the site would generate would lead to extensive traffic delays at the junction with Cooden Sea Road, increased danger when joining that road, particularly when turning right and significant additional traffic using the Little Common Roundabout. It would also result in a substantial increase in air pollution and in the resulting health issues.

No major developments should be considered for the area west of the Little Common roundabout until a full assessment can be undertaken of the overall effect on services and roads in the Little Common area, of the Barnhorn Green development. This would mean deferring a decision on site BX116 for approximately 5 years or until the Barnhorn site is completed and fully occupied.
