Respondent: Mr & Mrs T B Scott

Representation Summary:

I wish to make comments about the land south of Main Street covered in policy PEA1 site PS24.

Main concerns include:
*Unsuitable vehicle access
*Restricted access visibility
*Potential of 60-70 cars plus service vehicles trying to exit onto the main road
*You state that Peasmarsh has a good range of services. We have a very good supermarket but a bus service only once in two hours and a primary school that is virtually at full capacity now, no doctor's surgery and no street lighting.

Other sites need to be considered instead such as one or two smaller ones.

I wish to make comments about the land south of Main Street covered in your policy PEA1 site PS24. My main concerns is the unsuitable vehicle access from and on to Main Street. This is rather narrow and is on a piece of road that has a slight bend that will restrict visibility. I note the development is for 45 dwellings and this has a potential of 60 to 70 cars plus all the service vehicles trying to exit onto the main road. We live adjacent to the site and have suffered three cars written off by vehicles running into them during our residency in Peasmarsh.

You state that Peasmarsh has a good range of services. We are lucky to have a very good supermarket but a bus service only once in two hours and a primary school that is virtually at full capacity now, no doctor's surgery and no street lighting. The development will have a lasting impact on the surrounding area, this will I feel be detrimental and other sites need to be considered instead such as one or two smaller ones.
