LACK OF CLARITY AROUND AND FAILURE TO ADDRESS IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED SEBAR.

Not clear the extent to which proposals are dependent on SEBAR, and s106 contributions will be used to fund it.

SEBAR’s feasibility is not established; no assessment been carried out of its impacts including cumulative impacts and the level of development it would facilitate. No cumulative impact assessment is contained in the SA. Concerned it will lead to more development along its route.

Proposal will significantly affect local residents as:

1. Residents without access to a car (39%) would derive no benefit. Money would be better spent on measures to reduce car use and improve sustainable transport infrastructure.

2. Area contains areas of air quality concern – new road scheme likely to exacerbate local air quality issues.

3. Will entail high levels of greenhouse gas emissions in the construction and operational phases (increased car travel). Inconsistent with Council’s Climate Emergency Declaration and SA objectives.
