Proposed access route is extremely dangerous. Presently Ron Lawton crescent is not a through-road and only has a small volume of traffic to access 10-15 homes. This planning proposal would result in at least a ten-fold increase in traffic volume to the proposed 110 homes, which is unacceptable. The proposed access point is at an area used by children as a safe communal play area for cycling etc. - which would no longer be possible, or would result in a potentially fatal accident for a small child. This access is wholly unsuitable and there is no available alternative.
The proposed development would significantly adversely affect sight-lines and views from the houses on Ron Lawton Crescent, and additionally those from the railway line and the houses on Southfield Road.
The increased drainage from the site will further increase flooding lower in the village, and indeed the Sun Lane flood plain.
