From the revised SN2064REV it is evident that access to the site will be by a new road, to be constructed along the side of the Surgery.
I am against the two sites going ahead simultaneously because:-
(a) The two sites will result, in due course, with increased traffic congestion around site entrances at specific times of the day.
(b) This would be additional to current traffic at the Post Office and Shop and cars ,vans and lorries parked there for deliveries and shopping.
(c) There are parts of the existing Street where the bus and tractors/machinery cannot pass without difficulty. The additional cars, many of which will be large SUV's and 4x4's will stop at the shop and this will cause problems for access to/from site SN2064REV.
Whenever there are problems on the A146, traffic uses our Street at speed as a "rat run" - I do not see this stopping in the near future.
Therefore, at peak times, I do not think that the Street will be able to deal with the increased congestion at the Post Office and Shop of about 50 cars, from an initial 25 houses, and for this to be compounded by a similar number of cars from site SN2007. I suggest the sites should be delayed until our basic facilities are improved to handle the traffic.
