I wish to have my support noted for the council decision to prevent development of the above site. As a resident [location redacted] there are a number of existing issues that would significantly worsened by such as development as well as a number of new ones.
Wilderness Lane carried a high volume of traffic often at speeds exceeding the limit in place. With a number of local schools in the area including Q3 on Wilderness Lane this is dangerous. Only 2 weeks ago a small child was hit by a car at the school run.
Increasing the properties along this road and therefore the cars would be hugely detrimental both environmentally to our local school children but also increase the risk of accidents. Local roads are gridlocked between 3-3.45 pm daily causing huge annoyance to local residents who are unable to leave or access their property safely. Pushing more cars into these local roads not designed to handle the volume of traffic will only increase these issues.
The local schools are over subscribed and can not take in the additional pupils such a development would generate.
Additionally the alter the views and green belt space would be detrimental to the outlooks of the properties on wilderness Lane, and surrounding streets. Making the area less attractive and impacting property prices of the existing local residents.
On these points I wholeheartedly object to any development of the site and would like my comments noted.
