Representation ID: 1731

Received: 22/07/2021

Respondent: W. Warman

Number of people: 75

Representation Summary:

We the undersigned object to the above proposals for the following reasons:-
1. The proposed allocation for 35 houses will exacerbate traffic problems along the Street.
2. Gillingham St. Michael's School is already full and does not have any spare capacity.
3. No additional capacity in doctors' surgeries - allocation will make this situation worse.
4. Part of the site is in Flood Zone 3, with a high probability of flooding.
5. Government advice indicates any proposed development should be located where risk of flooding is lowest.
6. Regionally, climate change is indicated to increase river flows by up to 25% - likely to lead to more flooding. No account appears to have been taken of this.
