The proposed access is via William Fison Ride which is the only current access to Scalebor Park. William Fison Ride is alongside the community playing field, which is a valuable piece of open green space for residents of the village. The additional traffic would make the road next to the playing field unacceptably busy and poses additional risk to children and families crossing the road to access the green space.

Access to the proposed development is then via Ron Lawton Crescent, which is a narrow residential street with street-parking. There would be additional congestion in this area with a resultant reduction in air quality to the local residents. Reduced air quality, particularly from diesel particulates has been shown to be deleterious to health and is linked to childhood asthma highlighted by the coroner at the inquest of the death of Ella Adoo Kissi-Debrah (British Medical Journal BMJ 2020;371:m4902).
