Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8433

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Guy Thompson

Representation Summary:

Site 25 is highly unsuitable due to the existing traffic congestion and overuse of this country lane.
Would result in even more congestion and pollution and accidents

The site is usually flooded.

There are a lack of amenities and public transport for residents. (A bus stop is shown on the tow path on the map!)

Hockleyt Heath has already had 3 recent developments and will become overdeveloped.

Full text:

School Road is narrow and would struggle to cope with the increase in traffic making it hazardous to local residents and school children. Already difficult to exit driveways due to volume of parked cars and passing traffic. Trying to turn onto Stratford Rd from School Rd would be made extremely difficult, there is already queues waiting to turn out. Congestion and pollution are issues. The field is usually flooded in S.E. aspect of site and would seem unsuitable for development. A lack of amenities, including bus services make it less viable. Uncertain how the school can cope with additional children as well as serving new developments in Blythe Valley. The proposed crossing point adjacent to proposed vehicle access will cause considerable traffic build up. Hockley Heath has already had 3 very recent developments and surely does not need more housing or will lose village feel.
