Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9141
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Gemma Welch
Objection to Site 26:
- Infrastructure won't cope, strain on school places and provision of GP services, public transport is insufficient, and won't accommodate more people travelling into the city.
- Insufficient parking at Shirley and Whitlocks End station, Neville Road and surrounding area already under pressure from commuters parking for the station.
- Area cannot cope with further development.
WITH FURTHER HOUSING BEING PLANNED FOR AREA 26 I WOULD BE WORRIED BY THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC ON BILLS LANE, WHICH IS BACK TO BACK TRAFFIC IN THE MORNINGS AND EVENINGS. THE FOOTPATHS DOWN PART OF BILLS LANE ARE NARROW AND ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC.VOLUME WILL MAKE THE AREA CONGESTED AND DANGEROUS.
BY BUILDING IN AREA 26, IT WILL ONLY LEAVE A NARROW GAP BETWEEN DICKENS HEATH AND SHIRLEY IMPACTING ON OUR LIMITED GREEN OPEN SPACES.
IN COMBINATION WITH THE NEWLY EXPANDED SITE 12, IT WILL END UP ENCLOSING THE AREA COVERED BY SITE 13 ON 3 SIDES AND POSES A THREAT FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT ON SITE 13.
