Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

Representation ID: 60631

Received: 27/12/2013

Respondent: Katharine Mary Silvester

Representation Summary:

Land north of Birmingham Road - 5.21 ha developable area with a substantially reduced development capacity of 90 dwellings.

1) this area is at the bottom of a hill and is subject to wet boggy land which will require draining.
2) Direct access onto the Birmingham Road will involve opening up a bridle way and the traffic will conflict with traffic through the petrol station, as well as rush hour traffic along the Birmingham road causing added congestion to already significant congestion.
3) This added development will isolate Smith's Covert and leave wildlife stranded in the middle of a building development.
