Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1572

Received: 16/02/2017

Respondent: Dr Sue Houghton

Representation Summary:

There is little detail as to how the 'highway capacity' is to be improved to accommodate the inevitable extra traffic associated with new housing in Knowle, without losing the character of the neighbourhood, or how widening will be possible in residential roads eg Station Rd where traffic is already heavy at peak times. How is pressure on parking to be addressed?
Also need detail re increase in healthcare facilities to match the extra needs - no discussion has taken place with existing providers.
