Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8344

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Kay Pendleton

Representation Summary:

Rowood Drive (ref A6)

There is japanese knotweed on this location and it has already spread to nearby housing. We are concerned about the spread of this invasive plant with any building disruption to this site. We understand that Lode Heath School are treating it at the moment but local properties are still at risk.

Traffic is already busy along this road and there has been numerous accidents on the junction with Lode Lane. Additional housing will make this worse.

Also, there will be a detrimental effect on house prices that currently overlook a green space that is home to various wildlife.
