Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7346

Received: 10/03/2019

Respondent: Michael Moran

Representation Summary:

I object most strongly with the assumption that there is capacity on Bills Lane. Already the Bills Lane/Haslucks Green junction is extremely busy, notably in rush hour, and additional traffic along Bills Lane will produce enhanced congestion notably at the Burman Rd/Shakespeare Drive junctions. Bills Lane rises from the Haslucks Green Road junction inevitably meaning vehicle acceleration in lower gear and increasing, along with extra traffic, air pollution. The Christmas tree farm in its entirety provides a much needed semi-rural buffer for dense housing on the other side of Bills Lane.
