Representation ID: 18484

Received: 25/02/2018

Respondent: Mr Robert Plumtree

Representation Summary:

Additional vehicles as a result of the development would mean extra traffic. During peak times there is always at bottleneck at the junction of Priests Lane and Middleton Hall Lane, and this would become far worse with the proposed development not to mention the increased pollution. The Priests Lane site is the ONLY greenfield site in the LDP. Current surgeries and schools would struggle to cope with additional residents. he development of the Officers Meadows site would mean further vehicles taking a short cut through Shenfield and into Priests Lane.

(Site 044 and 178): Objections based on following: 1. Additional vehicles as a result of the development would mean extra traffic. Based on 95 houses there are likely to be at least 100 cars, and probably more as most households seem to have at least two cars. During peak times there is always at bottleneck at the junction of Priests Lane and Middleton Hall Lane, and this would become far worse with the proposed development not to mention the increased pollution. 2. The Priests Lane site is the ONLY greenfield site in the LDP. 3. Current surgeries and schools would struggle to cope with additional residents. 4. The development of the Officers Meadows site would mean further vehicles taking a short cut through Shenfield and into Priests Lane. Very often, at peak times, traffic going towards Brentwood tails back to Glanthams Road and sometimes to outside our house at XX Priests Lane.
