CBMDC states the sites “can be accessed directly from Brook Lane or via Ferndale but Brook Lane is substandard on its approach to main road at Baldwin Lane which will need mitigating”.

However, concerns about the suitability of Brook Lane to deliver additional vehicles are longstanding. The 2004 RUDP Inspector concluded that access could only be achieved by constructing a new road from Baldwin Lane, on land at present within the Green Belt”

A highways technical appendix and assessment is supplied. This examines the significant issues relating to the width of highways and pedestrian walkways, pinch points along Brook Lane and visibility issues at the Baldwin Lane and Brook Lane junction.

CBMDC has suggested that a new road serving SW/3H, SW4/H and SW18/H could be created using land within SW22/H. We indicate that the land required to achieve this option and across which a road would have to cross i.e. the land following the railway tunnel is in the control of Charles Patchett who does not give consent for it to be used. The option and therefore the sites are therefore simply not deliverable.
