Interim Sustainability Appraisal

Representation ID: 13067

Received: 15/02/2018

Respondent: Mr David Phillips

Representation Summary:

GNLP0449: The proposal to build over 30 homes in Beighton is unrealistic. The village is classed as unsustainable and has no facilities (shop/ children's play facilities/ public House/ public transport). The proposed plan vastly exceeds the requirements of the village and will have adverse impact on traffic flow in Southwood Road. This Road is narrow and despite a 30mph speed limit has a real issue with existing traffic (see 'Speedwatch' returns) making it a dangerous rat run. A development of around ten to twelve homes avoiding the overhead power lines, would be more appropriate.
