Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 6759

Received: 23/02/2019

Respondent: Mr Adrian McNicholas

Representation Summary:

I do not believe the building of homes in Knowle off Hampton Road leading to Wychwood Av is the best location. This will increase traffic at the already congested Hampton/Warwick Rd intersection, and then create a 'rabbit run' through the estate road (Arden Vale).

Furthermore creating a 'Sports Hub' beside the proposed site will also increase traffic, as this is not on a public bus/rail route, hence any visitors will need to drive to the location.

This will increase traffic at the already congested Hampton/Warwick Rd intersection, and then create a 'rabbit run' through the estate road (Arden Vale). Grove Rd would be an improved 1st choice.

As the highest location in the area, I think the new estate will become too visible.
