Respondent: Ms Lauren Parker

Representation Summary:

The proposed development would have an adverse impact on traffic safety, sewerage and surface water run off. The surrounding roads are relatively narrow and a "rat run" at peak times, making them dangerous for cyclists and walkers/runners. Surface water run off is an issue during periods of sustained rainfall, when water runs down Long Lane like a stream. The proposed development would have a significant visual impact on the area. The village currently remains relatively rural . Further development would effectively join Stoke Holy Cross to Upper Stoke and Poringland beyond, destroying the village's character.
