Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan - Alternative Sites & Focused Changes (Reg. 18)

Representation ID: 3765

Received: 05/02/2024

Respondent: Mr Nicholas Kemp

Representation Summary:

I have serious concerns about the flooding potential of this development. The properties along Milestone Lane are not on main sewers and the additional ground water would impact on their septic tanks

Wicklewood currently has about 400 properties, so to add another 40 or 52 properties is out of proportion with the size of the village. I have concerns about the additional traffic movements that will be generated on narrow country lanes. The Pre-school is full to capacity and the local school only has few places which will not be sufficient for this size development.
