Representation ID: 7353

Received: 11/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Paul Hamilton

Representation Summary:

School Road is not capable of coping with the existing traffic using it, there will be a influx of more traffic from the Blyth Valley development.
Further development this will put strain on the local infrastructure, major works will be needed to improve utilities, traffic systems need to be installed, and added pollution levels will rise, the Blyth Valley development is surely a big enough expansion within the local area for now, why do we need to build on more Green belt land.

School Road is not capable of coping with the the volume of traffic the development will cause. We will end up with a situation of cueing traffic out side the school at peak times making unsafe situations for young school kids to cross. The Plans also show a completely unrealistic scale of the road within the development, however if the size of the road is correct there will be cars parking on school road, again causing hazards for other road users. With 900 homes already bieng developed at Blythe Valley why would there be need to squeeze a further 100 onto a road that struggles to cope with existing volumes of traffic.
If the green belt land is to be allocated it also creates the potential of further development this will put strain on the local infrastructure, major works will be needed to inmrove utilities, traffic systems need to be installed, and added pollution levels will rise, the Blyth Valley development is surely a big enough expansion within the local area for now, why do we need to build on more Green belt land.
