Respondent: Mr Ashley Harrison

Representation Summary:

Every time there is any talk of building houses, there will be a bombardment of comments stating that the infrastructure, such as roads, drainage, healthcare facilities, schools etc are all stretched to the limit already. The planning reports will all say 'there will be no impact on the current services' or 'provision will be made'. This provision is only ever local provision but does not strengthen the existing whole infrastructure (in other words the problem increases and is just moved further down the line). Adding 600 more homes (Hall Road) must have an affect on the services and infrastructure!!
