Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9045

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Jennifer Archer

Representation Summary:

Blythe area already has pressure on its infrastructure. The roads are heavily congested and these matters need addressing prior to adding a possible 4,000 extra vehicles as it is unable to cope with the existing traffic.
There is a limit as to what can be done to improve the roads in the area due to ancient hedgerows having preservation orders on them. The appropriate traffic surveys have not been undertaken. We are in great danger of having additional housing and the area and services breaking under the pressure.
Please consider the transport and the local facilities before allowing further development.
