Proposed development of 600 dwellings is inconsistent with SMBC spatial strategy. The scale is inconsistent with stated size necessary for the original development planned for 450 dwellings, which is itself still to be proved.
With this size of development there could easily be an extra 1100 cars causing pollution and congestion along Station road/ Stripes Hill , into Knowle village, and into Milverton road from the existing footpath access . The proposed site is within the immediate vicinity of our back garden and this will affect the health of my severely asthmatic son.
The density of the development should be reduced to no more than 450 dwellings. This would give more room for green areas, parkland and walking/cycling routes to reduce the environmental impact and improve the mental and physical health of the residents and neighbours.
The access beside our house into Arden school should be blocked to road traffic to avoid congestion in Milverton Road, whilst the pedestrian access of the same should be retained as this is a recognised footpath.
The dwellings should also not exceed 2 stories in height within the immediate vicinity of our back garden , and be sufficiently away from our boundary so as not to otherwise block out the light and affect the enjoyment of our property.
