Respondent: Mrs Pauline Clutton

Representation Summary:

Heavy plant traffic, would not only be disruptive to the existing neighbourhood, but have a serious effect on the value of our houses.

I understand that the intention is to use Bartletts as access to the site. The road is not strong enough for the large number of heavy vehicles that would be using it as a thoroughfare.

As the new residents would need vehicles to access, this would cause major congestion everywhere in this vicinity.

Full text:

I live in Bartletts, which, as you're aware, is a very small road, consisting of 16 semi-detached houses. This quiet cul-de-sac is surrounded by greenbelt land, which I understand should not be built on. Therefore, I strongly object to any such proposals being given permission for development.

My reasons for objections include the following:-

Heavy plant traffic, would not only be disruptive to the existing neighbourhood, but have a serious effect on the value of our houses.
The land is a flood plain, therefore unsuitable for development, also very risky.
I understand that the intention is to use Bartletts as access to the site. The road is not strong enough for the large number of heavy vehicles that would be using it as a thoroughfare.
There would be no infrastructure to cope with the amount of dwellings that you seem intent on erecting.
As the new residents would need vehicles to access, this would cause major congestion everywhere in this vicinity.

I would beg you to reconsider your proposals.
