Whilst you have requested that no feedback be given on your proposal for the initial 30 properties; it would have been useful to have sight of your definitive proposed site layout for these 30 properties. Crocus Homes have previously mentioned a proposal to widen Rectory road and seek 2 way traffic from Westbourne road to the railway bridge.
It is difficult to appreciate how the disruption of achieving such a proposal might be of any
benefit to either the existing residents or to the residents of a further 30 new properties.
Perhaps you might explain your thinking behind such a scheme? And whether this still forms part of your plans. We find it difficult to appreciate how having 2 way traffic might be of any benefit to either the existing residents or to the new residents as the bridge would surely require traffic control measures (traffic lights) due to its narrow width. We could not support such a scheme.
Without doubt any proposal for yet a further 25 dwellings in addition to the 30 dwellings would place further pressure on the existing infra structure, such that we certainly couldn’t support it.
There has been mention of the possibility of providing a disabled access to the Bure valley railway path from within the area of the original site. What are your current proposals, if any, in this respect?
