Respondent: Mr Philip Lockwood

Representation Summary:

This is a ridiculous proposal because of its location ,the dangers to traffic and pedestrians and the impact it would have on existing residents on High Green and Astley cooper Place in particular.

Full text:

I strongly object to this proposal for the following reasons:
1)There is no pavement past Astley Cooper Place,so no safe means for residents to walk down High Green for Public transport and for mothers to take children to and from school.
2)This proposal and GNLP2119 if adopted would significantly increase the size of the village(currently 300 houses)and therefore straining amenities.
3)The construction of a school at this end of the village would generate an intolerable increase in traffic along High green with mothers taking children too and from school on what is becoming an already very busy road.
4)The development would exit High Green on a series of bends and so is dangerous to traffic.
5)The disruption of existing residents of such a development would be significant as a result of construction traffic,noise and adding water and power facilities.
We have recently been made aware of this disruption during the Construction of the Mallows on High Green where road closure has caused distress to elderly residents.
I believe this proposal for a school on this site is ridiculous for the reasons above and that there may be potentially better,safer and less intrusive sites on the main B1332 road!
