Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 10392
Received: 21/02/2019
Respondent: Mrs Helen Bolus
- Infrastructure in and around Dickens Heath already inadequate
- Traffic through village increased considerably in last few years, can take 30mins to travel from Tythe Barn Lane to Miller and Carter roundabout in rush hour. Village used as rat run from M42. Traffic increase due to recent new developments.
- Very concerned about access to Site 4 from/onto Tythe Barn Lane. Lorries and vans have to mount pavements on Tythe Barn Lane, dangerous for pedestrians especially on school run.
- Insufficient School places
- GP surgery struggling to cope already
- Flooding on Tythe Barn Lane, e.g. by Akamba
We object to the proposal of building 350 homes on the grounds of the fact that the local infrastructure is not suitable to support additional houses. Key concerns are traffic congestion, previous flooding in this area, schooling and medical services. Please see attached document for further information to support this.
