Object to BA2: Access arrangements not specified, cumulative impacts not considered, BA2, BA3, BA4 & BA5 should have strategic policy, early provision of infrastructure required.
This site needs a link to Clothall Road, A507. This is not stated.
Development of Site BA2 would not by itself to justify additional infrastructure, but the total number of homes proposed for Sites BA2, BA3, BA4 and BA5 exceeds the threshold for a strategic housing site (para. 1.3 of the Local Plan) and requires appropriate additional infrastructure. This is not made sufficiently explicit. Existing infrastructure (schools, health care etc.) operates close to capacity, so the additional infrastructure needs to be provided at an early stage (most likely within enlarged Clothall Common estate).
