Candidate Site Register

Representation ID: 27628

Received: 06/09/2019

Respondent: Miss Natalie Pritchard

Representation Summary:

This site was previously rejected due to access issues and since then vehicle ownership has increased. It's a narrow cul-de-sac with 2 sharp bends. Access is already restricted with parked vehicles on the road, service vehicles struggle to manoeuvre, emergency vehicles can be obstructed and this is with the resident population as it currently stands. An increase in traffic will exacerbate this issue. The development of the land will destroy the habitat for bats, foxes, badgers, frogs, newts and birds. Development should not take place on green land but on more suitable brownfield and infill sites.

Change suggested by respondent:

I request that this site (5) is removed from the RDLP. There are sites with better and safer access, which should be considered. The protection of green land should be a priority and more imaginative consideration given to the redevelopment of brownfield and infill sites.
