Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

As a resident of Lalleford Road Luton, I oppose the plan to build 600 houses in the area between Luton and Cokernhoe village.
I also oppose future plans for housing between the A505 , down the East side of Luton, as far South as Breachwood Green.
The area near Cokernhoe will have only one traffic access, Luton Road, which becomes Crawley Green Road into Luton.
This area , Crawley Green Road, Wigmore Lane, Eaton Green Road, and the interconnected smaller roads where I live,
Are already gridlocked at peak times , and even a small blockage, like cars parked by airport workers and passengers,, causes even more carnage.
New roads could be put into this development, taking access to the North of Stopsley, or into the current Wigmore estate at various points,
But these would still eventually flow into these blocked roads.
At times Crawley Green Road is solid traffic from the roundabout at St Mary's Church in town, right to here, how can this extra
Traffic fit into that?
This housing will contribute between 600-1200+ more vehicles onto this area, public transport will be non-existent , as it is already,
So new residents will have no alternative , but to use their cars.
If these new residents work at Luton Airport, they will dump their cars in the Vauxhall Park/ Wigmore areas , as they do now,
As they will not be able to park at airport, this is not acceptable to quality of life for the residents of this area.
The land where these houses are planned, is prone to flooding each year, due to its heavy clay soil, where will
This water runoff, when it's covered in concrete?
There are many brown field sites in Luton, capable of taking smaller developments, to the total of these housing numbers,
Therefore spreading traffic/schooling/healthcare around the town, as opposed to concentrating in one already overcrowded area.
