Resultant increased traffic joining/using the Street is detrimental to safe crossing for school-children, the elderly and disabled. Traffic-flow at school entry and exit times is already beyond safe and environmentally-friendly limits due to the Langley School 8 vehicle-long minibus train twice daily, local commuter traffic from Claxton/Hardley/Loddon and cut-through usage avoiding the A146. This site encourages further site SN5039 the exit road from which constitutes direct danger to life and limb for school-children, the elderly and disabled crossing at the blind junction to School Lane. Secondly, if northern sites rejected then southern sites must too since long-view also impaired.
Change the plan to reject all the sites to the south of The Street and New Inn Hill since they constitute a danger to school-children, the elderly and disabled, and environmental pollution through increased traffic, joining and using the Street, whilst irrevocably destroying a far more beautiful long-view than any of the northern sites, which have been rejected on such grounds. Southern sites will destroy natural habitats which promote biodiversity, including the Common Spotted Orchid which grows wild in this southern valley but not on land adjoining northern sites. If northern sites have been rejected on panoramic/environmental grounds, then the plan must be changed to reject all proposed and revised southern sites too.
