Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 6786

Received: 24/02/2019

Respondent: Mr Derek Hormel

Representation Summary:

School Road is 16ft. wide for much of its length and is already busy and dangerous. The neighbourhood plan survey conducted in 2018 showed no local support for new developments in School Road and proposed that if these were necessary they should be to the north of the road, which makes a natural boundary for the Green Belt. Surely the views of local residents who know the area should be considered in such matters.

School Road is 16ft. wide for much of its length and is already busy and dangerous. Additional traffic generated by 100 new homes and the Blythe Valley development will add to the likelihood of accidents, especially at school times. The neighbourhood plan survey conducted in 2018 showed no local support for new developments in School Road and proposed that if these were necessary they should be to the north of the road, which makes a natural boundary for the Green Belt. Surely the views of local residents who know the area should be considered in such matters.
