Representation ID: 8472

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Lyn Holtham

Representation Summary:

The pressures on infrastructure identified for Knowle and in particular the Arden Triangle are a result of poor site selection and an over allocation of development on all the land south of Knowle. A) it will overload the village centre and create further congestion B) It will divert local/commuter traffic to Grove Road without any specific measures identified to deal with these problems and C) It will harm the historic setting and rural approach to Knowle by consuming so much valuable landscape. The allocation be reduced significantly and alternatives found elsewhere in KDBH.
