Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7621

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: BFNAG

Representation Summary:

No infrastructure improvements have been made over many years and the village is already at capacity. Before further development key facilities need to be fully assessed.
Parking, at the station and in the centre, needs improvement.
While a by-pass may be welcomed, traffic analysis east/west and north/south needs to be undertaken. Viability (and air-pollution) of a route to the west as well as the east must be considered. There is concern that the route through Barratt's Farm is not a by-pass but a feeder road for housing. The latter might be welcomed to ensure no access from existing residential roads.
