Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20635

Received: 11/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Phil Heald

Representation Summary:

The existing application (20170075) which this proposes to extend already stretches the current infrastructure and local services without adding any further capacity.

The negative impact on traffic will be significant to both directions of Rectory Road. If the existing proposal allows for 60 cars for 30 houses, and an additional 20-25 houses an additional 40-50, then Rectory Road will become unsustainable.

The original application relies on private transport companies running regular bus services to the area, but I would add that in recent years these services have been cancelled or re-routed as Rectory Road has been impassible for larger vehicles.
