Representation Summary:

The access to Barnhorn Road is totally unsuitable. Its proximity to the bends west of the access makes it a potential dangerous junction. The road already experiences a level of accidents that has resulted in being classified as a 'high risk' highway.
The A259 Barnhorn Road is already heavily congested and this congestion will increase once the developments at Rosewood Park and west of Ashridge Residential Home are complete and occupied. Barnhorn Road is already inadequate for the volume of traffic it carries and any further development can only make it worse.
Meads Road, Maple Walk and Maple Avenue which would provide the other access to Spindlewood Drive are narrow and unsuited to any increase in traffic .
