Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7226

Received: 09/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Julia Gilroy

Representation Summary:

Site 8: Hampton Road should not be built on.The area is classic "countryside" easily accessed from Knowle village and includes important local wildlife sites & popular countryside footpaths
The proposed development threatens the "village" nature/ countryside feel of the area. Knowle doesn't have the infrastructure or capacity i.e. schools & health to accommodate the proposed extra housing. The road network is already highly congested at peak times & this proposed increase in dwellings will make this worse, increase pollution in the area & potentially increase vehicle accidents.
