Avoid changes to the rural setting 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.

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 (Nine Ashes Road, Fingrith Hall Road and Chelmsford Road) are not suitable for this volume of traffic. I have experienced a near miss in my car recently at one of these junctions and am concerned that there would be accidents.

remove from LDP

The ancient plague road of redrose lane is not suitable for the amount of traffic associated with this development. It is not suitable for this purpose.

Amend paragraph 9.203 as follows -

The development will take its main vehicular access from Orchard Piece and/or Fingrith Hall Lane...'.

3. Effective.

Paragraph 9.203 makes reference to the main vehicular access for the site to be via Redrose Lane.

ECC have previously advised that vehicular access from Redrose Lane may not be able to meet highway standards. It would be more appropriate to take access from Orchard Piece, or after further consideration Fingrith Hall Road.

The paragraph should therefore be amended to reflect this.
