Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 340

Received: 24/01/2019

Respondent: Mrs Deborah Hack

Representation Summary:

I agree that a new link road from Birdham road to Fishbourne would significantly help congestion and pollution in Donnington and Stockbridge. Donnington is often gridlocked in the summer and becomes impossible to leave the house in hot weather. It will unfortunately be visible from the AONB , so feel strong mitigation measures should be made to ensure it is hidden from view (e.g built into a grassed/tree lined bank) and noise barriers/ reducing surfaces should be used to minimise harm to the residents and wildlife. The turning restrictions on Stockbridge junction will also significantly reduce traffic flowing through Donnington.
