Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Development Plan Document

Nothing chosen

POINTS TO CONSIDER RE, PLANNING APPLICATION SIDE REF C4S(008) I BELIEVE THE PROPOSED SITE IS THE MOST INAPPROPRIATE AREA BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING :- 1 THE NAME WATER LANE GIVES THE GAME AWAY! 2 THIS LANE FLOODS REGULARLY DOWN FROM THE FIELDS ONTO THE STREET IN BEARSTED AND HAS CLOSED THE ROAD ON MANY OCCASIONS. 3 THE VICTORIAN RAILWAY BRIDGE is ALSO UNSUITABLE, BECAUSE TWO VEHICLES HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY IN PASSING EACH OTHER AND VISABILITY is IMPAIRED BY THE ANGLE OF THE BRIDGE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED DAMAGE TO MY CAR BEFORE NOW. 4 THIS LANE IS USED BY HORSE RIDERS ALSO 5 SHOPS AND SCHOOLS ARE ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY AND WE NO LONGER HAVE A BUS SERVICE THERE ARE ABOUT 200 HOUSES IN THE NEAR VICINITY AND LOCAL SERVICES AND INTRASTRUCTURE ARE INADEQUATE 6 I DOUBT WHETHER IT WILL BE EASY TO TOW A LARGE CARAVAN ALONG THIS NANE IN PARTICULAR NAVIGATING THE NARROW LOW BRIDGE. 7 WHAT ABOUT ALL THE LARGE LORRIES HAVING TO BRING CONCRETE ETC to MAKE AN ACCESS ROADWAY IN AND HARD STANDING FOR THE CARAVANS LORRINS AND CARS ATC. TOTALLY UNSUITABLE
