Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 6912

Received: 03/03/2019

Respondent: David Whiteley

Representation Summary:

Widney Manor Road - The Green Belt status of this land should remain because:
1.The land in question is a wildlife corridor that supports badgers, bats, foxes, muntjac deer etc. These animals are picked up regularly by our wildlife camera.
2. The road infrastructure cannot take the additional traffic congestion and access issues which would result, particularly the junction at Widney Lane/Widney Manor Road and railway station access. Accidents at this spot are a regular occurrence and there is not enough room to add a traffic island.
3. Additional light, noise and environmental pollution would add to the current incessant road and rail pollution.
