The traffic information supporting both GA1 and GA2 has been proved to be flawed. The proposed access arrangements are wholly inadequate both pre and post construction.
Construction on green belt land is unnecessary and contains little infrastructure of benefit to the existing or enlarged community.
This site should be rejected because it is unnecessarily utilising green belt land and does not contain adequate infrastructure to support a development of 600 homes adjacent to Great Ashby, a community of nearly 6,000 residents which in itself is lacking health service facilities and a secondary school.
Access to the site via Great Ashby Way and Mendip Way is abysmal and based on an inadequate traffic survey which has been proved to be seriously flawed by a traffic consultant commissioned by Great Ashby Community Council, Graveley and Weston Parish Councils.
If these sites were to be approved together with NS1 it will achieve absolute coalescence for Great Ashby and Graveley with Stevenage Borough, a situation which informed residents seek to avoid.
