BX116 is UNSUITABLE:-
Lack of infrastructure
Doctors and Schools at capacity
Lack of Jobs
Lack of Car Parking
Little Common would not cope with an increase in large numbers of people, properties and certainly not the vehicles - there is already a large amount of congestion at the Little Common roundabout.
BX124/NBAR would be more appropriate. It has far better local amenities, better likelihood of jobs nearby with more businesses and shops, easy access to schools/surgeries/shopping/train station
Also good access to A21 and Conquest Hospital
'small site windfalls' need to be taken into account which would therefore render BX116 unnecessary.
Spindlewood Drive development (BEX09/BX116) is UNSUITABLE :-
Lack of infrastructure
Doctors and Schools at capacity
Lack of Jobs
Lack of Car Parking
The area around Little Common would not cope with an increase in large numbers of people, properties and certainly not the vehicles on the roads - there is already a large amount of congestion at the Little Common roundabout.
My understanding is that the alternative site ref BX124/NBAR would be more appropriate.
It has far better local amenities
Better likelihood of jobs nearby with more businesses and shops
Easy access to schools/surgeries/shopping/train station
Also good access to A21 and Conquest Hospital
I also understand from well-attended local meetings I have been to that there are many 'small site windfalls' which need to be taken into account in the area which would therefore render Spindlewood (BX116) development unnecessary.
