Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 14368

Received: 18/03/2018

Respondent: Mr Nicholas Snelling

Representation Summary:

I wouldn't consider this site appropriate for development. The whole site floods and is dangerous after rain, land movement due to underground voids are noticeable and would make building work risky. Providing reliable utilities would be costly. Grange Road water supply uses decrepit lead piping and sewerage pipes are problematic (sewerage issues on Peregrine Close too). The existing land contamination and risk of disturbed asbestos would be a huge issue for the area. Proximity to the factory would make the properties unpopular and unpalatable for tenants. Grange Road and Peregrine Close junctions are dangerous due to heavy campaign traffic.
