Received: 09/11/2017

Respondent: Mr Neil Ridley

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

This area currently has very limited amenities and would be unable to sustain such development.
Claybrooke School is already struggling to cope with the current demand and would not be able to cope.
There are not the employment opportunities in the area to sustain the development. Therefore this would become a dormitory settlement with inhabitants commuting out of the area, increasing traffic and lowering air quality. The local roads are not suitable to cope with this level of increase, particularly connections with the A5, with both Woodway Lane and High Cross.
