Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1578

Received: 16/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Laura Dunne

Representation Summary:

Inadequate infrastructure in Knowle to support over 1000 new homes - a likely increase in village population of around 30% (assuming an average of 3 people per new house). Insufficient capacity within local schools to accommodate children from this number of new houses. If a whole new school were to be required it would split the village in two as the school is the focal point for families. Inadequate parking provision for the current population - how will the increase be catered for?
