We would not consider the local bus service as frequent.
Large HGVs pass through the village despite routing agreements affecting several protected monuments by vibration and fumes.
Where will the children and families access health services locally? When social housing at Leys Lane and Meriden Gate was allocated there were no resources allocated to either the GPs or Meriden school.
Clarification on para 73 as to where in the village centre this refers to.
Temporary road closures and temporary traffic management must match the routing agreements with other HGVs and diversion routes. The cumulative impact on traffic and parking has not been considered.
There is limited development growth opportunity in Meriden.
In relation to para 748 - this is not “significant” funding from a CIL source.
It should be recognised that older and younger people can be first time buyers.
Maintenance of SuDS is a significant issue in Meriden as previous systems have not been maintained.
Compensatory improvements, which will be required for the loss of greenbelt land, can be discussed with the Parish Council.
