Martyn Lemon. Planning Lead on behalf of Spooner Row Community Council the following is asked for your consideration

SPO3 has omitted two conditions that are currently an important part of the policy wording in the existing Local Plan. These important safety policy requirements are to provide a pedestrian refuge (footpath) and a sustainable drainage scheme. There is a real question mark as to whether the site was ever suitable for development. There has been no movement on site to suggest this maybe the case. The protection of pedestrians particularly children walking to school is a concern. There is an omission of flooding issues raised in SP02. Despite the fact the road often floods after a downpour.
