The Promise of a drop off area for the school is totally missing the point and misleading . The issues are with school drop off yes but the traffic along the length of the narrow and pot holed ridden School road is the wider issue. What you are actually saying is the developer will provide some small amount of land to actually encourage more people to drive and drop their kids off at school. When Blythe Valley housing comes on-board this road will be used as a RAT Run and the quality of life will be diminished for existing residents.
This development will be to the determent of the local people but I am sure the developer will be able to market the houses at a premium as many have a canal side view! Who will benefit here?
Local Young people = NO because they will not be able to afford them . Answer is Wealthy individuals who can pay the prices for these homes . Has any assessment been carried out on the overall impact of the additional 200+ cars that will use School road together with Blythe Valley Traffic and existing? The answer is No I strongly Object.
