Dangers caused by any increase in traffic from Ashby Road onto A146 and lack of passing places on Mill Road, east of Mill Common junction.
Surface water drainage is already an issue for existing properties on Mill Road - development would exacerbate this.
Access: Mill Road is only 3.5m wide at suggested access to site and this is on a potentially dangerous corner.
Flood risk: No SUDS evaluation has yet been made for the proposed development, nor of the flood risk from additional surface water from the proposed road access onto Mill Road.
Springs in the wood and pond on the corner also discharge beneath the road, into the ditch running through the properties of South Lodge and Dickensbury, where there are already regular occurances of flooding in heavy rain.
Any development where building roofs and drives collect and discharge water which would previously have been absorbed by the agricultural field plus additional road surface drainage all flowing into the ditch would have immediate effect to properties to the north of Mill Road substantially increasing the frequency of flooding.
