Volume 1: Sustainability Appraisal of the Maidstone Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Development Plan Document 2023–2040

Strongly disagree

My comments are applicable to the Site C4S(017) , The Brishings. Box 1.2.b Local Services. The ONLY local service in Langley is the Surgery which is at full capacity. The village bus service is sparse and match school times. There is no primary school and delivery of young children to local schools would have to be by private cars. Box 1.2.d Access. The current site access point is at the junction of Green Lane and Shepherds Way. Green Lane is a narrow road barely 2m wide in places; Shepherds Way is often single lane width because of parked cars. Neither road is suitable for HGV or large lorries and the turning radius for entry from Shepherds way would be a 45 degree hairpin corner. Table 8.2 SA2, 3 and 4. For the Brishings Site the stated Objectives are not met!
