As a resident in Bishop Walk I can confirm that I wholeheartedly agree that Bishop Walk is a quiet close with 6 residential homes on both sides with open views to natural landscapes. Each property has off road parking. Were Bishop Walk to be used as an access and or exit point this would be unfair and totally unacceptable and I strongly object to this proposal. Safety and congestion issues should be properly addressed and abandoning the whole project should be seriously considered.
Re: Paragraph 2 (c) Policy R19. We appreciate the reduction in house numbers from 75 to 45 addresses our concerns about inappropriate house density. However, it fails to address other concerns about the safety of a new access road and the suitability of Bishop Walk of an access considering the limited road infrastructure of Priests Lane and the already high traffic levels which will increase as a result of the various new housing developments in the area. It also does not reflect the Council addition of multiple access points. We think our existing objections are still valid and want them to be submitted along with the LDP.
Remove R19 from the plan
Dear Sir or Madam,
As a resident in Bishop Walk I can confirm that I wholeheartedly agree with the comments shown below in the message sent to you earlier today from our association.
