Vehicle access to the site needs to consider road safety. Up to 40% of the traffic (SAM2 data for 2022) entering and leaving the village is exceeding the speed limit in this area. Increasing housing density in this area will increase road traffic throughout the village and put more pressure on parking spaces around the shop and school as more parents drop and pick up their children.
Existing footpaths are narrow and difficult for two or more people to pass each other without stepping into the road. The informal footpath, created during Covid, should not be kept.
Has access for agricultural vehicles been considered?
Use and routes of existing footpaths should be reconsidered. Current crossing point on New Inn Hill is on a blind bend.
