Against this proposed site due to increase in traffic/congestion, and lack of supporting local facilities ( Doctors etc )
Against the plan for this development, mainly for the impact on traffic congestion (at the Priest lane end AND the Friars Ave end). These junctions are frequently congested now and adding more houses and therefore cars, will only make this worse. Including the associated air pollution caused by the extra traffic.
Local facilities including Doctor surgeries etc are already overstretched it seems, sometimes requiring 3-4 days before you can get an appointment. Are these services also being suitably expanded to support the extra people these houses will bring to the area? One example, I notice the Rockleigh court surgery is expected to have a 15.25% increase in the patients it deals with. Will it be getting extra full time doctors and nurses to cope?
