Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7786

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Michael Doble

Representation Summary:

In excess of 1,000 new homes in Knowle will destroy the present village environment.
Occupancy of the new homes will most likely be by young people, who have cars and will not use public transport. This will further increase parking problems. Major road widening will be required, not just the tinkering suggested.
The football club is currently short of members and has failed to maintain its existing buildings and is unlikely be able to afford to run the proposed site.
The poor agricultural land North of Knowle, either side of the M42, is a more suitable site for proposed development.
