We have collated the main guts of the plans so that you can see at a glance what it planned.
Plans include:
195 residential units shoehorned into part of the existing golf course.
The Golf Course to go and we get a pitch and putt instead.
Access roads via Greenland View and Mythern Meadow.
Implications to other roads in the vicinity with reference to road widening.
Reduction of current pavements / grass verges.
The effect of this development (within legal planning parameters) is:
This land is safeguarded to meet the longer term needs of BOA. Previous application was rejected as sufficient housing provision is already in place to meet BOA’s needs under current local plan.
Access tothe new site is inadequate. We are concerned about impact on adjacent roads, volume of traffic and highway safety for families. Air quality in the area will be affected.
We are deeply concerned in relation to contamination - recent report highlights levels of 6 high risk contaminates which pose a possibility of significant harm to human health if disturbed.
Ecological impact - the area supports and sustains a wide variety of wildlife including Otters which are a protected species. The open space that remains will be a fraction of what is currently there.
Loss of a valuable water ‘soak up’ area to avoid increased risk of flooding further down the River Avon.
Additional demands on local services - GP’s, schools and employment.
