Representation Summary:

The proposal to build 120 new houses is unsuitable for land which is subject to flooding, attachment shows its current waterlogged state. Egress onto the A4177 will be impossible to manage due to the already clogged road network through narrow Ebrington Drive to Barcheston Drive & the congested access onto the A4177. The proposal is not environmentally sustainable and poses a risk to health and well-being through flooding and vehicle pollution. There would be a need for retail, school and medical facilities on such a large estate. This is not a Housing Market Area that can take any more development.
