Access to Burnmill Farm via Kingston Way will cause traffic chaos along a quiet housing estate road. The mess and noise and excess traffic caused by heavy building equipment and transport will cause massive problems for existing residents. The proposed entrance to the development is planned to run into a short gap between two existing houses which would be very oppressive for the current occupants of those homes.

Kingston Way is limited due to width of proposed access into development between 42 and 44. THe drive to 42 Kingston way is for 2 vehicles following the addition of a double garage to the property, additional Cars could park on road.. THere will also be a steep gradient between the two sites. Vehicular access is difficult in winter weather as they are unable to drive up resulting in cars being left lower down the road and on Alvington way. LCC 6c's state max 150 houses for single access road, already 60 dwellings in place.

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.

Road width
Gradient of road and the effect of that in icy conditions
Traffic calming
Car usage
Access to and from current driveway of number 42 Kingston Way
Kingston Way is a road that is already unaccessible at times in the winter and many residents have to resort to leaving their cars at the bottom of the hill or on Alvington Way. The width of the road at the moment causes problems as there are a number of cars parked curbside and
they make access very difficult . Add to this in excess of 200 more cars and
this road would become very hazardous particularly to the many elderly and
very young residents. There are no shops or other amenities close by so car
usage is very high. There are already 5 speed bumps on the road which indicated that traffic calming measures were necessary with the current volume of traffic let alone with all of the additional cars and delivery vehicles.
The access itself is directly outside my house where we have built a large double garage into the slope of the land. This is a significant slope so I would be very interested to know how this would be done with out both damage to my garage and affecting my ability to get off my own drive. I am also concerned that with my garage blocking my view to the new access road I will struggle to safely get off the drive anyway

The development would adversely affect highway safety or the convenience of road users particularly at the junction between Alvington Way and Bates Close which is already an area of congestion at busy times of the day. Further Kingston Way is inaccessible in times of inclement weather when there is more than 1" inch of snowfall that accumulates on the road surface, given the increase in traffic hesitated by have this as the only access and egress can only exacerbate this situation.

Kingston Way is not suitable for big vehicles or large volumes of traffic due to the amount of cars that park on the street, the speed bumps and the fact that the area is highly populated with children who play on the large grass area. My wife and I also work long hours and the noise pollution will not be ideal when we are relaxing at home.

The increased volume of traffic with the new development will cause detrimental effect on the whole community.
During the construction phase the heavy vehicles will cause significant disruption on the multi junction, winding road with parked vehicles and pedestrians. This already has vicious traffic calming measures.
Farm traffic will try to use the new access point and add to the disruption of the whole community.
The new 5.5m access road with two 2m footpaths needs to be positioned to minimise the direct impact on the 3 adjoining dwellings as they are in very close proximity.

The impact of all this additional traffic coming through a Close is not practicable. I can not see how the Close can safely manage the volume of traffic of 90 additional dewllings.

I feel the access from Kingston Way into the new development is very restrictive for the number of houses proposed for this site. There is a potential for an extra 150 cars to be using Kingston Way if this development goes ahead. This will also have an impact on the T junction where Kingston Way joins Bates Close and then onto Alvington Way, I think this will have a very negative impact from pollution and noise on the properties on these roads were traffic at the moment is very light.

The access at the top of Kingston Way is inappropriate. The required width cannot be attained without severe impact to the houses already in situ near the proposed entrance, with the proposed number of houses to be built.

Kingston Way is a small cul-de-sac and I feel concerned about the large increase in traffic this will produce. The road is not easy to negotiate, particularly in bad weather. I feel Kingston Way is not able to cope with large increases in traffic.

Currently traffic exiting Kingston Way causes a real danger to cars exiting Bates Close. This is becauses drivers seem to only look right as they exit Kingston Way so that traffic from Bates Close is overlooked. This currently has been the cause of several near misses for Bates Close residents and an increase of circa 100% in traffic volume will cause unacceptably high risk of traffic accidents and so personal injury.

This proposal is a high density development in a peripheral location with access from Kingston Way, a narrow, winding, cambered, undulating cul-de-sac unsuitable for high volumes of traffic. Traffic from the development will create a bottleneck traffic situation in Kingston Way with a much heightened risk of traffic accidents. The junctions of Alvington Way and Bates Close and Bates Close and Kingston Way are of particular concern and this will be exacerbated by the proposed new road linking the north of the town to the west increasing use of Alvington Way as a route to the east

Too high a density for the peripheral location and limited access route proposal. Traffic increment in Alvington Way/Bates Close/Kingston Way will be significant in any event, but this will exacerbated when the new road from the Airfield Farm is complete. The latter will inevitably drive huge volumes of traffic from west to east across town via Alvington Way

Kingston Way is unsuitable for the site access. It is a narrow road with limited parking. The road freezes in winter and cars get stranded due to the incline. The additional traffic would cause a risk to safety as children play on the two greens, Safety is also a major concern as traffic cuts the corner when turning into Bates Close leading to Kingston Way, Bushes on the perimeter of the green obscure the view of the turning. The increase in traffic would impact the privacy of the houses and increase traffic noise in the existing quite neighbourhood.

According to the site assessment companion guide, P24 the Highway authority has indicated that a maximum of 90 dwellings could be delivered due to capacity limitations. It states that that access needs to meet Highways Authority standards which may present a viability issue. David Wilson Homes have already produced a outlined exhibition stating that the wish to build more than 100 Dwellings. Access point into the site from Kingston Way is narrow and possible issues with site lines from existing farm access track crossing the access point.

Access via Kingston Way will further increase traffic onto Alvington Way, which will become even more congested with traffic from the Airfield farm development as traffic tries to avoid the town centre.
The number of houses proposed by the developer is too many for the size of the access road.

In respect of the Burnmill farm site, full consideration must be taken of ecological, archeological, and flood risk prior to planning applications being approved. The proposed access point is flawed due to positioning, continued use of farm vehicles and gradient of road in the winter preventing access/exit.
