Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Development Plan Document

Strongly disagree

My comments are in regard to the following proposal; C4S (017) The Brishings (20). This site is in the middle of Langley village with extremely limited access. Primary access is via a two-way, single lane track (Green Lane) with minimal opportunities for cars to pass each other when travelling in opposite directions. The lane is not suitable for large vehicles. There are no retail outlets or direct employment opportunities in the village so the regular use of vehicles would be essential for the users of the 20 proposed pitches. The occupants of the proposed pitches would, necessarily, significantly increase the traffic flow and congestion in, and around, the village. A part of the site is known to be liable to flooding. This site has had planning applications for traditional housing on previous (recent occasions) which have been rejected. For these reasons I believe the policy for allocating sites is fundamentally flawed as this site should not be included for consideration.

Strongly disagree

My comments are in regard to the following proposal; C4S (017) The Brishings (20). The granting of planning permission is dependent on the site being accessed via Green Lane. This route is not currently a practical or safe option. Green Lane is a two way, single lane track with no pavement on either side and with no public lighting. There are minimal opportunities for cars to pass each other when travelling in opposite directions and, because of the high hedge, there is a blind corner on the route from the site to Leeds Road. The lane is not suitable for large vehicles, lorries or large caravans. There are no retail outlets or direct employment opportunities in the village so the regular use of vehicles would be essential for the occupants of the 20 proposed pitches. This would, necessarily, significantly increase the risk of accidents and congestion in, and around, Langley village.
