We have recently become aware of the above proposed housing site in your search for housing development. As a resident directly affected by any proposed development of this site we are very concerned with this for a number of reasons, principally the suggestion that a public footpath will run from the site immediately next to our property causing loss of privacy and disturbance etc. However in addition there are a number of other reasons for our concern

1) This field has been put forward for development in the past with it previously being refused on grounds of unacceptable vehicular access, how has this issue been resolved?

2) The proposed footpath past our property adjoins Holly Farm Road at a point immediately next to the railway bridge, on the brow of a hill and on a bend in the road, visibility to both directions is negligible with the road being very narrow at this point. Any pedestrian entering Holly Farm Road at this point is in danger. The assumed suggestion that this is good walking route to the Primary School from the proposal site is ridiculous as this section of Holly Farm Road as well as being narrow (single carriageway) is subject to significant amounts of on-street parking ( school car park) . Any pedestrian walking in this direction to the school is at risk from both cars parking and through traffic which is surprisingly high as the road serves a small marina, industrial units, farms and AW sewage works as well as residential dwellings.

3) I am assuming the site owners agent has made a number of assumptions (ie point of vehicular access and footpath) in putting this site forward for your consideration, this being the case I feel it unsatisfactory that their certainly biased views can be robust enough to include in plans for public consideration. Can this be explained and clarified as to whether any unbiased views have presently been sought on such matters?
