Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 350

Received: 19/01/2017

Respondent: Mr Steven Rushton

Representation Summary:

The existing road infrastructure around Dickens Heath is not sufficient for current traffic levels (there are long queues in and out at rush hour), new developments at Dickens Heath and Cheswick Green will add to the problem as they do not bring any road improvements. Developing land south of Dog Kennel Lane will massively add to this problem (850 new properties) and compromise the existing road system further by adding new junctions, lights and roundabouts. Further additional development in this area must therefore be accompanied by the required infrastructure improvements.
