Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

As a resident of this village that lives along the high street I am concerned about the increase in traffic that building this many new houses will bring. Many households have at least 2 cars and currently some of the older properties are being structurally affected by the current through traffic. Many haulage companies which includes Anstey quarry use the village as a short cut or are mistakenly guided by Sat Navs which causes the older houses to be shaken. The width of the high street does not allow for cars to pass and residents cars regularly have wing mirrors knocked and broken. Speeding is an ongoing problem and there are no detergents in place. The infrastructure and facilities that the village offers cannot sustain this large amount of new homes and the historic linear character will be changed forever.
