Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7914

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Paula Pountney

Representation Summary:

We think it is unfair that 38% of the housing is being built in Shirley. The roads are already congested with traffic jams in the area.
With 2050 new houses there will be 4000 more cars on the road causing increased air pollution.
There will be additional pressure on G.P. capacity, schools and other amenities.
We agree with the expert view of Jean Walters, see attached document.
What we need:-
Improved public transport including a park and ride. Earlswood railway station offers plenty of parking.
Off road cycle paths.
Allocation 13 changed from public open space to a Nature Reserve.
