Too vague and not thought through to be supported.

Main concerns are Low Street being a very narrow, winded road with no lights or paving for pedestrians as it is. From the area outlined and no actual drawing plans or rough idea of the actual proposed plan it is hard to imagine how traffic is supposed to flow safely in and around the proposed area without putting pedestrians and cyclists at risk. A good example of favourable planning is the current Windmill development which has created at least a stretch of pavement for safe walking. Also neighbours have noted that water logging has started to occur for the first time in almost 30 years since the Windmill development has started, which is yet to be completed. Total effect of this to risk of surface flooding has therefore not been assessed and can't be assessed until months after the Windmill development has been completed.
I'm also wondering if anyone has assessed the capability to cope with a moderate increment in polulation size of the already oversubscribed primary school?
Furthermore the original submission document from 07/07/2016 states under the section 5b uses for Recreation & Leisure as well as public open space. Again, this is a very broad term in addition to an „undetermined number of dwellings". Without a clear strategy how to tackle above issues and a more precise idea of the actual proposal is, I'm afraid I will have to object this for now and would be keen to see if potential developers have taken these issues into account and could shed more light onto the matter.
