Respondent: Mr john Phillips

Representation Summary:

- Very narrow entrance to this proposal. Caistor Lane is a country road which already has far too much traffic going through to A47. Fatalities will occur if the area becomes too busy with no footpaths or street lighting.
- Recent housing has already put pressure on the area
- Caistor Lane suffers surface water flooding which will be exacerbated by this proposal;
- Loss of prime farmland and wildlife habitat.

Full text:

- Caistor Lane is a country road which is carrying far too much traffic for its size and includes several dangerous bends. This proposal has very narrow access and would introduce even more danger to schoolchildren and the elderly population given there are no footpaths and no street lighting.
- Increased heavy lorry traffic and building works will wreck the local environment.
- Recent building on Caistor Lane of 200 houses has already put pressure on local services and the road network. Where are the services to support all these homes coming from?
- Caistor Lane suffers from surface water flooding. Proposal is higher than current housing and covering the ground with concrete will significantly increase the problems with water drainage.
- Significant loss of prime farmland and wildlife habitat.
