Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 6928

Received: 04/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Richard Burgess

Representation Summary:

This site is too large and will destroy the rural nature of this part of the village. Wooton Green Lane is one of the few remaining roads in Balsall Common. The addition of so many new homes will be detrimental to the quality of life for current residents and those who currently use the road to safely cycle and walk. The two new proposed access points onto Wootton Green Lane will make it a busy thoroughfare and necessitate an upgrade from rural lane to urban road.

Wootton Green Lane is as the name suggest a rural road, one of the few remaining 8n the village. this proposed development will destroy its character for ever. The access points from the development into the lane will put far too much traffic on it for the safety of walkers etc who flock here daily because it is so peaceful a place.
