Representation ID: 826

Received: 02/02/2019

Respondent: Mrs Fiona Horn

Representation Summary:

No mitigation provided for the increase in traffic that 250 dwellings would have on A259/A27. The rail service is infrequent only 1 train stops each way once an hour at peak times, less at other times. No shop or post office. Not suitable for less able 'older people' unless they drive adding to car journeys.School already over subscribed. Local children struggle to get in so have to travel by car to alternative schools. No mention of risk of flooding.Unless this is adequately addressed in future iterations of the plan, I will raise this with examiner at the appropriate time.
