Representation Summary:

There has been a very high level of residents complaints and the Council are taking no notice of residents feelings.

Full text:

The plan proposes adding additional dwellings in the Town Centre which cannot cope now and will be overwhelmed by additional houses.
The sites off Priests Lane are unsuitable for development for the following reasons:
The site access points proposed are unsuitable and open onto an already narrow
and congested Priests Lane.
Traffic regularly queues from the junction of Priests Lane and Middleton Hall Lane
beyond the proposed access points and a development will only make this worse.
The two sites are adjacent to two schools which must have a need for additional
land.
The development will result in a loss of open space in an area where we are
already short of such space.
These sites are the only Greenfield sites identified in the plan and needs to be p
protected.
No study has been made of the effect of additional housing on infrastructure, GP's,
hospitals, dentists and schools.
There has been a very high level of residents complaints and the Council are
taking no notice of residents feelings.
