Representation Summary:

I don't think Cantley is in desperate need of houses there is hardly any employment in Cantley .Road access is a major problem due to several people owning Grange road and vast amounts of traffic on the main road . No gas or sewage to site . Contamination of site is a big problem as is the demolition 2 "asbestos bungalows "No where for large vehicles to turn around . This site has been turned down for planning before .

This site was has been turned down twice already . On the map also a road access to the rear access of The Grange House property has been deliberate not been shown on the map clearly for a reason The only access to this road is for residents and then people to walk down for access to the footpath.There are certain residents of Grange road who actually own part of Grange road so access that way would be impossible and the road which is only maintained by the people who live in these houses and could take NO more Vehicles due to its construction of ash stone .The Loke to the site proposal once had a turn around point for lorries / dustcarts . Fireengines the owner has removed this at his end so now all heavy vehicles delivering have to reverse down this like making it very dangerous . If the other access mentioned via Peregrine Close is used it just causes more problems with the 600 + lorries entering into Cantley each day . As i have lived and worked for the farming company which once owned this site i do know that the 2 bungalows that are their at present are prefabricated buildisngs and were bricked round several years ago thus demolition of these would create a serious health hazard to remove as they are full of asbestos and as well be very costly .The land proposed also had a very large farm pond in it which over the years have been filled in and jn the last 3 years all kinds of stuff was carted down there and dumped in it before finally covering with topsoil and grass . This must have caused some contamination . There is no gas in Cantley as mentioned and also no Mains sewage to the present buildings the water pipe is not 6 inch mains either , it is a lot smaller There are also very few people local who work at the factory due to contractors being bought in over the last few years and this and the local public house is the only source of employment . There is not a great demand for houses in Cantley either as there is only one way in and one way out .The site also has owls and much wildlife on it .
