Representation ID: 27702

Received: 14/09/2019

Respondent: Mrs Claire Smart

Representation Summary:

This is a narrow cul-de-sac with two sharp bends. Access is already restricted with many vehicles parked on the road.With an increase in population extra traffic will only make the problem worse. More importantly development of this land will destroy the habitat for alot of wildlife including foxes,badgers,birds,bats,frogs and newts. Development should not take place on green land but on brownfield and infill sites which are more suitable.

Change suggested by respondent:

I request that this site (5) is removed fromthe RDLP. Sites with better and safer access should be considered.The protection of green land should be an absolute priority and consideration should be given to the redevelopment of brownfield and infill sites.
