Representation Summary:

The developments R25 and R26 will cause significant traffic increase on small rural roads in the vicinity of these sites, notably Red Rose Lane, which is already classified as being unsuitable for large/heavy vehicles. This road is used frequently by pedestrians and dog-walkers, it's narrow and has no pavement. Adding 70 houses to this road will make for a huge increase in traffic which is completely incompatible with the road in it's present state. To widen it to make it safe, will cost a substantial amount and be to the detriment of the historic nature of the lane and village.
