Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 2364

Received: 16/03/2017

Respondent: Bob Martin

Representation Summary:

It is of inappropriate scale and character for the locality and will place pressure on local education and medical services. it will add significant traffic pressure at the intersection of Sharmans Cross road and Streetsbrook Road, which is already becoming a problematic junction with risk-taking commonplace. it removes open space and recreation facilities at a time when the obesity/public health debate is top of the health agenda
I feel sure that there are other places in the wider borough where this kind of development would be better suited.

LDP Proposed housing allocation 18

I am writing in connection with the above proposal. I

feel this is an inappropriate development for several reasons:
- it is of inappropriate scale and character for the locality, and will place pressure on local education and medical services
- it will add significant traffic pressure at the intersection of Sharmans Cross road and Streetsbrook Road, which is already becoming a problematic junction with risk-taking commonplace
- it removes open space and recreation facilities at a time when the obesity/public health debate is top of the health agenda

I am sure there are other factors that you would take into consideration but I also feel sure that there are other places in the wider borough where this kind of development would be better suited.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
