Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 17963

Received: 14/04/2010

Respondent: Hockley Residents Association

Representation Summary:

The development of any additional housing in the area is not supported for the following reasons:
 There is no proposed solution to traffic issues on the already busy roads around Church Road, Folly Lane and Fountain Lane, which are dangerous, narrow, winding and used by many horseriders.
 There is no proposed solution to traffic issues at Hockley primary school caused by 'school runs' due to the additional children
However, if development is enforced, then Option WH2 (mushroom farm - brownfield site) is preferred as it avoids the loss of greenbelt and open spaces.
