I support the discounting of Option 4 due to increased traffic and risk of flooding.
I support the discounting of Option 4 from the Village Housing Options. I believe this site would have resulted in increased traffic flow through School Lane and Lewis Road. This would result in an increased risk of Road Traffic Accidents in general and especially at school drop-off and pick up times when there is already congestion. Increased traffic flow along these narrow roads would also lead to emergency vehicles not being able to access the site.
I also believe that building on this site would have led to an increased flood risk along roads to the south of Option 4 which have suffered in the past with serious flooding.
