Full text:

NPPF section 4 says that developments should take up opportunities to reduce the need for major transport infrastructure and that plans should take account of providing "safe and suitable" access. I am concerned that the BA1 development will require significant roadworks and will greatly increase traffic on North Road (A507) - which is already congested making it difficult for residents of the area to get to and from town.

Further, NPPF chapter 2 is about ensuring the vitality of town centres. This development will move the centre of this historic market town and will forever change its character.
