Access would go through an estate already overburdened with traffic and parking. Parking in Oakdene Crescent causes congestion making it unsafe for children to play. Social houses in Oakdene Crescent have a cesspit that requires emptying at regular intervals- the tanker blocks the road for up to 20 minuets preventing any vehicle to enter or exit the estate this would be a problem if emergency vehicles had to attend any property on the estate. The exit from Oakdene Crescent into Station Road is a blind corner, accidents have occurred and any increase in traffic would increase the risk of accident.
We object to the proposed Antrobus Close site. The access to the new site would be through an already established estate of house that is already overburdened with traffic and parking. The parking in Oakdene Crescent causes congestion making it unsafe for children to play. The social houses in Oakdene Crescent have a cesspit that requires emptying at regular intervals. The tanker has to block the road for up to 20 minuets preventing any vehicle to enter or exit the estate this would be a problem if emergency vehicles had to attend any property on the estate. Also the exit from Oakdene Crescent into Station Road is a blind corner accidents have occurred and any increase in traffic volume would increase the risk of accident.
The proposed Dell site would be better suited to development as this would not extend the building line beyond the natural building line. The reason of poor access is not relevant for not selecting this site as access can be made via the old Station Road. This sit would make vehicle access much safer reduce parking and traffic congestion and add a much needed village green for the children to play.
