Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8028

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Jill Hillman

Representation Summary:

The Crestwood Arden Triangle Landscape Assessment gives full information why development should not extend any further south than Cuttle Brook and the Right of Way. Arden School only needs refurbishing as the entrance off Station Road is convenient and Safe. The proposed new site will mean cars and children accessing through a housing development. The 600 houses development is over development in a confined area which is already under pressure regarding infrastructure. Warwick Road and Grove Road are both inadequate roads to have a major development entering and exiting - major safety issue. The area should stay as Green Belt.

The Crestwood Arden Triangle Landscape Assessment gives full information why development should not be made any further south than Cuttle Brook and the Right of Way. The Arden School only needs refurbishing as the entrance to it on Station Road is convenient and Safe. The proposed new site will mean cars and children having to access through a housing development. The 600 houses development is over development in a confined area which is already under pressure regarding infrastructure. Warwick Road and Grove Road are both inadequate roads to have a major development entering and exiting - major safety issue.
I agree that the dwellings in Grove Road should remain a "washed over" Green Belt and that the land to the north between Grove Road and Knowle centre should be retained as Green Belt to provide a clear boundary to the existing residential area of the village. The Green Belt should not be built on as it should be kept as the small area of land that makes up the settlement of the villages of Knowle & Dorridge. Leave the Green Belt to do the job that it was set out to do - protect and enhance the area.
I object to your conclusion on site assessment methodology for the proposed Arden Triangle draft allocation and also the Blue Lake Road Amber site and I support the arguments in the KDBH and Pegasus Planning representations.
