Public Forum (2.30-2.52 p.m.)
Three members of the public attended the meeting, Mr. Paul Baxter, Clinton Way, Mr. Michael Woodward, Abbey Drive and Mrs. Dorothy Wilkinson, Clinton Way.
The Chairman asked each to outline their concerns regarding the planning application for 85 homes on Mill Lane.
1) Concern regarding traffic flow through Clinton Way and Mill Lane.
2) Cottages at the top of Mill Lane have no off- street parking so cars are parked on the road. This would add to the traffic congestion already experienced by residents. The volume of traffic would increase. The traffic flow survey was conducted when traffic was light, in Lockdown 2, and therefore not representative of normal traffic flow.
3) There is no pavement along Mill Lane and this is a safety concern particularly for children walking along this stretch of road.
4) Parking is already an issue outside the school; this will become more of an issue with an increase in resident numbers.
5) Sewage/water also an issue due to the rise in demand/pressure on already stretched facilities.
6) Lack of infrastructure-doctors/dentists not able to cope with increased demand.
7) Flooding issues are also a concern-question as to whether the proposed site is on a flood plain.
8) Concern expressed over why the Parish Council did not support an application for a smaller development but then supported this application when the density of housing weas much higher.
9) Concern that the proposed link road would not be feasible as the Broadgate homes development not begun which would enable a link road to be built.
10) Issue regarding open space provision, concern that it was a security risk and a better option would be to have wildlife corridor.
