Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Kingston Way is not suitable for the additional traffic that would be generated by this proposed development. Being so far from shops, schools, health care facilities and other amenities including a bus route would mean occupants would need to use their own motorised transport. The nearest bus route has one bus in each direction each hour and non on Sundays and Bank Holidays. From the site to the bus is about half kilometre. From the furthest extreme of the development this means a kilometre walk. The developer plans mixed dwellings so the old and infirm will be disadvantaged.
