Respondent: Mr. Steve Jamieson
I would like to make a formal objection to the proposed use of the Paddock by Clements Hall Way, Rectory Road SS5 4LR (CFS118).
This area is currently designated as both Greenfield & Green Belt land, it was previously heavily defended as such, whilst the "Clements Gate" development was being constructed and as part of that planning permission a Section 106 legal agreement was enforced to protect the site -
'3.2.3 The Owner shall only use the Paddocks for agriculture, horticulture, forestry, grazing or as open land so as to ensure that they remain un-built upon except for any buildings ancillary to such permitted use and provide open space which mitigates the visual impact of the Development on the area in which the Site is situated.'
The "Paddocks" were originally established along Rectory Road to avoid overdevelopment and retain level of "Green separation from Rectory road, All development was to be prohibited bar the addition of one house and the retention of 352 Rectory Road because it houses a bat roost.
Recently, excessive traffic to and from the sports centre down Clements Hall Way, has been causing issues for some residents and this issue has been raised with local councillors to investigate, with a view to traffic calming being installed.
Adding extra homes into a thin strip of land will only add to the problem, because there does not seem to be any easy way to provide access in and out of the Paddock.
In my opinion, if this area was to be used, it would be an over development of the area and just lead to increased pressure on an already weak local infrastructure.
