Representation ID: 1560

Received: 16/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Harvey Scriven

Representation Summary:

Object to housing site 9 as building 700 houses in Knowle is ill conceived, case has not been made to build on green belt, which is contrary to Government policy, and is only being pursued because a developer is effectively 'bribing' the council and Arden school with a so called 'land swap'. Site is not well served by public transport and, therefore, the impact of the additional traffic through Knowle village, Station Road and the Warwick Road will be significant and has not been appropriately considered in the plan.
