Local plans should address not only housing but traffic concerns, healthcare and education needs.
1. The sustainability review refers to traffic as a concern but no mitigation options have been identified.
2. No specific or robust argument has been made that a viable access point is possible.
3. When considered against reasonable alternatives these sites cannot be deemed justified and there is nowhere in the plan which allows for the enhancement of infrastructure as a result of development.
4. There is no provision for increased educational need. The expansion of Hogarth School is to meet current demands. Schools further afield which may have space will require a car journey to attend exacerbating the already dire traffic situation
There is no provision for increased health needs. There is already a low level of GPs per head.
