Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 6899

Received: 01/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Jill Hillman

Representation Summary:

The position of Arden Triangle between Warwick Road and Grove Road is totally unsuitable as both roads are narrow and already very busy. To have access to this proposed site in either roads, I believe Warwick road is the most favourable is adding to the already fast entrance into Knowle. The present infrastructure is completely saturated, roads, car parks, Dr's surgeries, schools, nurseries - it just mystifies residents why this location has even been identified as being feasible. Is it greedy land owners who are already clearing established wooded areas to guarantee purchase from even greedier developers. Looks like it.

The existing infrastructure is inadequate, Warwick Road is already very busy and a fast 2 way single road into Knowle, Grove Road is no more than a lane and Knowle High Street is at grid lock at commuter times and busy during most of the day. This will cause a safety issue. The car parking is already inadequate, dr's and dentist surgeries are full to capacity and so are Nursery, Infant and Junior schools. This development would add at least 2 cars to every household (600 houses, 1200 extra cars). The demographic and historic nature of Knowle will be completely destroyed.
