Any house building would have to be accompanied by the appropriate level of infrastructure development. There is currently a shortage of appropriate parking in Knowle, it is hard to get doctors appointments, the traffic through the village at peak times can bring everything to a standstill. Speed reduction measures are not the answer - more houses will lead to more traffic, and so increased road and parking capacity needs to be provided.
Would new houses fall within catchment area for Knowle Primary Academy which is already over-subscribed? Developers should be expected to contribute to expansion to accommodate additional pupils.
