TRAFFIC REPRESENTATION- POLICY BEX9

It is fully evident the increase in traffic volumes/noise/air pollution will have a severe impact on the Barnhorn Road and roads leading to and from Meads Road. The traffic surveys supplied by the land agent have proved to be inaccurate and 'tailored' to meet requirements rather than reflect the daily misery of the A259.

The proposed Barnhorn Road access is ill thought and just not workable on a daily basis. The houses immediately adjacent and opposite 6-8 in total will have restricted views to access the A259 and in peak times will not be able to use their driveways. This will be the site access and is clearly too close to the 'S' bend heading west let alone the proposed ghost lane which as stated will impact on the adjacent properties.

Meads Road, Spindlewood Drive,Maple Walk and Maple Avenue are totally unsuitable for the heavy traffic volumes (some of which are unadopted ) that will occur as a direct result of the Spindlewood development.

It is plain to see the proposed road will just become a 'rat run" between Cooden Sea Road to Barnhorn Road and vice versa. Rosewood Park residents, visitors' delivery vehicles will also use the 'rat run' to gain access to and from Little Common School/Shops/Clubs etc.

It is evident no consideration has been given to the site in respect of the increased air/noise pollution and is sadly lacking from the DaSA document.

In summary there can be no justification for the proposed site access.
