Representation Summary:

Objection to SP18: GA2 on the grounds of:
- traffic
- parking
- Emergency Services access - including on Mendip Way
- school places
- GP provision
- needs to either be a new town/garden city closer to the A1M, or new roads created to accommodate the huge increase there will be in traffic.

Full text:

I object to this development due to the current issues with traffic, parking etc. The plans are to use existing streets in Great Ashby for access to this, this will not work! Emergency services already struggle to navigate down Mendip Way and several other streets, the issue would be made much worse.
There is also too much traffic already going through Great Ashby at present.

There are not enough places in schools and GP surgeries to accommodate the extra demand that will be placed on them.
