Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 53221

Received: 20/07/2013

Respondent: Mrs Catherine Gribbon

Representation Summary:

Over 69% to the total housing is planned in the south of the Region. This will place a huge burden on local people living here. There are only 4 possible river crossings into the North of the area and an additional 4000 houses (and potentially 8000 cars) will cause increased congestion on the already congested roads. Motorway access to/from M40 at junction 13 &14 is aleady poor and dangerous at peak times. Huge investment to the Longbridge island, Junction15/bypass and land around this area and south of M40 could accomodate further housing with less impact locally.
