This proposed development would require access onto the extremely busy A590 which dissects the village of Swarthmoor. Village residents on the opposite side of the road have alternative route options to the A590 but this proposed development would not. The junction proposed for use is already treacherous as there is a constant stream of traffic travelling at 40mph. Making a turn across the traffic is almost impossible as is crossing the road on foot. The proposed development would obviously increase the traffic flow at this junction and increase the risk of accidents. Any stoppage on this road causes massive tailbacks and has previously caused further accidents.

This proposed development would have access onto Pennington Lane where Pennington Church of England School and Pennington Nursery are also situated. At school times parking stretches along the entire length of the road making access extremely difficult with heavy volumes of traffic. In addition, the main route from the proposed site would be the Cross-a-Moor junction onto the extremely busy A590. This road carries a constant stream of traffic at 40mph making a right turn across the traffic almost impossible. Further vehicles would make a bad situation even worst.

This site currently contains garages for rent by individuals which is a valuable amenity as there is a shortage of these facilities in the village. The loss of this amenity would be unthinkable.

This proposed site currently contains two garages which would mean the loss of a valuable amenity in Swarthmoor as there is a shortage of such facilities.
