Representation ID: 22196

Received: 03/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Helen Whalley

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

This proposed main vehicular access from Red Rose Lane is completely unsuitable for this volume of traffic due to its narrow and rural nature. To alter this old rural road would not be appropriate to the rural setting of the area. Section 2.10 of the Settlement Hierarchy chapter of the LDP states 'Development should be appropriate to the rural setting of the area.'
Red Rose Lane is unsuitable for this volume of traffic because it floods regularly.
The three junctions with faster main roads are not suitable for this volume of traffic. I am concerned that there would be accidents.

Change suggested by respondent:

Avoid changes to the rural nature of Red Rose Lane.
Avoid an increase in the volume of traffic on/off Red Rose Lane.
Avoid an increase in the volume of traffic at the junctions of Red Rose Lane and the main roads.
Avoid an increase in the volume of traffic on Red Rose Lane which floods regularly.
