A47 junction at full capacity already.
One way system in Scraptoft village unsuitable for more traffic.
Keyham Lane West unsuitable as main thoroughfare - has traffic calming.
School students would be put at risk.
Proposal not sound as Scraptoft cannot cope with more traffic. Already problems at Peak times with traffic on Station Lane queing towards the A47 junction. This junction is already at capacity. It is not feasible that traffic from 1200 homes goes down Keyham Lane West as this is a narrow road with traffic calming introduced because of the schools along here. Children's lives will be put at risk if this is made a main thoroughafare. The Tesco roundabout is already a very busy junction. Scraptoft village has narow one way system which cannot cope with more traffic.

The proposed access via keyham lane is insafe and unsound.
That road already has traffic calming measures, 15 speed bumps in all
The road passes 3 schools.
Incresed traffic volumes will bring increased risk.
Barkby road will become more of a rat run and there is no scope for widening orvimproving this road at certain points.

It is proposed that the Scraptoft North development requires an east west access road between Beeby Road and Hamilton Lane. Both these roads onto which the access road would emerge are narrow, have blind bends and are not suited to an increase in the amount of extra traffic which an extra 1200 houses would bring.. The village has already suffered in recent years because of ongoing house building and large construction vehicles. Current access to most of the major radial roads involves driving through the narrow one-way system in the centre of scraptoft.

I cannot see how any extra traffic can be accommodated in a satisfactory manor with the exit roads we have at present without causing considerable congestion, delays and ultimately danger to the residents of Scraptoft.
none of the roads local to Scraptoft are capable of taking the extra traffic associated with 1200 new houses. Keyham lane has only just been marginally widened and is a 20mph hour zone with two schools and excessive traffic calming measures. This in turn leads to an already congested roundabout onto the inner ring road. Extra traffic along Hamilton Lane into Scraptoft will further congest the centre of Scraptoft around the one way system which can already tail back along Hamilton lane at peak times. Traffic exiting onto the Beeby road will also converge on Scraptoft village centre with the same effect and eventually hit the Station lane junction already running at 85% and causing major tail backs at peak times even now. Any traffic leaving via Scraptoft lane will eventually meet a restriction at the junction with the Uppingham road.

The current system of roads we currently have are totally unsuitable for such a development and there is little or no way these can be improved
The building of 1200 houses cannot be sustained within the current road structure in the area. Currently Station Road comes to a standstill at peak times and this will greatly increase with the huge increase in population proposed. Keyham Lane West has recently had a large number of houses built up to the edge of the road and has also been subjected to significant traffic calming measures. This road cannot be significantly improved and other proposals will just make Beeby Road and New Romney Crescent rat runs for the increasing traffic to enable drivers to get onto Scraptoft Lane and Station Road. Neither road can sustain such an increase and there is no room for improvements to these roads.

What impact will it have on the already congested roads in the areas surrounding SCRAPTOFT?
The condition of the roads / wear and tear are already suffering with HGV and construction site vehicles constantly coming through the village.

The roads in Scraptoft are not suitable. Hamilton Lane leads off from the proposed new road leading onto a heavily traffic calmed narrow road past a large secondary school which is already a parking issue with narrow pavements. The high number of cars and commuters leaving for work and school will have a negative impact for lots of residents. Scraptoft is a one-way system and would not cope with such large amounts of traffic which will be heading towards the A47 down Station Lane. There is already congestion here during peak times without another 2,000 plus cars on top.

The proposal is not sound because Keyham Lane West would need to be upgraded, and it already contains two large schools and a bus route and has recently received traffic calming measures. Any upgrading to Keyham Lane West is not mentioned in the plan. A similar problem will relate to New Romney Crescent, and the additional traffic leaving the village will contribute to the existing traffic congestion on Station Road every week day. This is a road that cannot be widened and additional traffic will add to the traffic problems already experienced on a daily basis at the A47 junction.

The surround road infrastructure will not support the increased volume of traffic.
Access via keyham Lane will be problematic as that road already has traffic calming measures and passes three schools.
The access via new Romney crescent is too close to the brook.

Keyham Lane West having just been upgraded with 20 speed bumps a 20 mph limit 3 major schools add to this Tesco roundabout completely blocked along Troon Way and Hungarton Boulevard morning and evening. Not a sound proposal. The alternative is along Beeby Road and Station Lane to the A47. This is already blocked morning and afternoon with people unable to get out of the side roads along Station Lane. children living in the old part of Scraptoft have to cross Beeby Road to get the school bus at the busiest time of the day. Definitely not well assessed.

This is unsound due to the inadequate infrastructure which is already in place. Traffic already queues on three quarter of the length Station Lane in the mornings. Keyham Lane West has been widened recently and traffic calming put in place due to two schools along it', cars are parked everywhere, the roads in this area are county LANES and not suitable for the volume of traffic being proposed. Access should be taken away from the village as the one way system cannot cope.

Respondent: THURNBY AND BUSHBY Parish Council
Thurnby and Bushby Parish Councils has major concerns that the impact on existing residential and rural roads in and around Scraptoft, Thurnby and Bushby has been underestimated. See full text for details.
Any driver travelling south (to Oadby and beyond) east (outward bound along the A47) from the Scraptoft North SDA would use Station Lane/Road through to the A47. While drivers from the SDA wishing to travel westwards to the City of Leicester may use other routes, congestion issues on those alternative routes are likely to result in these drivers choosing to use the Station Lane/Road route to the A47 before turning to the west.
The junction of Station Road with the A47 is already at capacity. In addition, traffic travelling from the proposed SDA through Thurnby would compound traffic throughput; congestion on Grange Lane through to Main Street and Stoughton Road; and, would further compromise pedestrian safety in the centre of the village in the proximity of St Luke's Primary School and other village amenities.
The Plan does not explain how these issues will be mitigated. There is insufficient account taken of the evidence provided in the Edwards and Edwards report.
The impact on air quality does not appear to have been taken into account.

Beeby Road and Hamilton Lane will be access points for the development, I strongly disagree with this, as both roads are very narrow, with blind bends, making them not suited to the increased traffic flow. Beeby Road is already a cut through in the morning and evening for commuters to and from work, adding another 1200 houses with potentially 2 cars per household, will make these roads so busy

This proposal is not sound as Keyham Lane West would need to be substantially upgraded to take all the new traffic created by such a large development. How feasible is this? The road would be used as a distributor road but already has two schools and a bus route and has recently had speed humps installed. The current traffic congestion would be increased massively.
