Representation ID: 10814

Received: 12/12/2020

Respondent: Mr Paul Joyner

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

I object to the Barratts Farm development for the following reasons:

1) Removal of a countryside amenity, used by residents, providing health benefits and environmental benefits
2) Increased amount of traffic, on Station Road, Sunnyside Lane (narrow pinch point) Meeting House Lane creating pollution, noise and inconvenience
3) Addition of a primary school at the end of Station Road, near station, will exacerbate unacceptable traffic congestion issue, particularly during HS2 construction period, where Hall Meadow will be used as Haul route
4) The years of disruption and noise to residents adjacent to the site, due to HS" and Residential construction

Change suggested by respondent:

Any development should only have access via the new by pass road, to stop additional traffic in the centre of the village and on Station Road.
If a primary school is included in the plan, it should be located amongst the new home, with access off the by pass route only, to prevent traffic issues on station road.
Reduce the amount of built land, reducing the number of houses to 500 max
No residential development until HS2 construction is finished.
