There are no suitable roads to adequately serve sites 044 and 178 as Priests Lane already becomes totally gridlocked at busy times of the day. The added population in the proposed 95 dwellings would become locked in during those busy times.
The proposal is totally inappropriate and would place these dwellings in completely the wrong place. Priests Lane is actually a LANE and not a ROAD with minimal facilities for pedestrians adding greater pressure on the VILLAGE that was Shenfield and the Doctors' Surgeries and Primary Schools in the immediate area. There is minimal space for parked cars and those that do park effectively reduce the traffic flow to one way only.
Former versions of the LDP have never suggested the possibility of inclusion of the Priests Lane Open Space as anything other than that use. This is a development proposed on a totally inappropriate site, once used as school playing fields,
that would become lost forever if this plan was ever to be implemented.
