Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8536

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Sarah Letters

Representation Summary:

I believe that an increase of c. 600 homes in the Knowle area will damage the character of the settlement, for the worse and will put increasing pressure on infrastructure (roads, parking etc), that will not easily be remedied. I do not believe that it is only possible to address some of these infrastructure issues if there is a higher number of residents in the area; conversely I think these matters can and should be remedied before there is such a significant increase - which is greater than the amount proposed at any of the other sites.
