Candidate Site Register

Representation ID: 27690

Received: 13/09/2019

Respondent: Mr Peter Tolhurst

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 cars on the road, service vehicles struggle to maneuver, emergency vehicles can be obstructed and this is with the resident population as it currently stands. An increase in traffic will exacerbate the situation. The development of the land will destroy habitat for the existing wild life. Development should not take place on green land but on more suitable brownfield and land fill sites .

Change suggested by respondent:

I request that this site (5) be removed from the RDLP. There are sites with better access and suitability available ,which should be considered first.
