Objection to NLR3 because
1. present traffic problems on the London road will be exacerbated and
2. it will create a flood risk for the Little Wheatleys Estate.
I object to option NLR3 on the following grounds:
1. The development would be directly adjacent to the London Road and require access to the London Road. Presently, at peak times, the traffic congestion on this road is enormous and if there are traffic problems on the A127 at any time, traffic on the London Road comes to a standstill as a result of motorists trying to avoid the A127. This development will exacerbate the traffic problems with the additional access from the proposed development.
2. Water will not be able to drain away if the area is built upon up to the London Road and the likelihood is that the low lying Little Wheatleys Estate will itself become a flood risk area.
