Respondent: Mr Guy Hudson

Representation Summary:

The location and size of this site is out of proportion with the village.
There will be a great impact on the traffic flow of the A140 (as whilst proposed with ghost island, highways wanting a roundabout). Roundabout will add to the traffic congestion already experienced both along the road and any traffic trying to join from junctions locally.
From the consultation it was clear the company has a desire to establish its presence in specific directions beyond the city and has only been looking to move A140 corridor. There are plenty of other established commercialbusiness parks they could approach.

GNLP0604R The location and size of this site is out of proportion with the village. There will be a great impact on the traffic flow of the A140 (as whilst proposed with ghost island, highways wanting a roundabout). Roundabout will add to the traffic congestion already experienced both along the road and any traffic trying to join from junctions along this artery. From the consultation it was clear the company has a desire to establish its presence in specific directions beyond the city and has only been looking to move on the A140 corridor. There are plenty of other established commercial zones/business parks they could approach.
The current works being completed by developer show no regard to the village. Dragging plant and machinery through the village and dumping waste on other villages it owns. Spoiling the whole village already.
The development would also lead (with the addition of roundabout) to further requests to expand to surrounding fields which would spoil the whole approach of Swainsthorpe.
