Poor acess onto an already bad junction. Vision from this junction is very difficult. Pedestrian use here would be made more dangerous than it already is as there is no pavement and the road to Beckside/community ammenites/children's play park is very narrow. Would also interfere with field access to neighbouring fields.

Should be reviewed regularly say every 5 years. Housing market can change considerably in short periods of time.
Please indicate which of the options for the future housing and employment land needs of small villages, hamlets and open countryside you would support.
Option B - Communities and/or developers bringing forward sites for housing and employment for consideration under relevant Core Strategy policies, through neighbourhood plans and/or other local initiatives

I am a strong believer in localism and believe local planning should be what the actual community wants or needs not imposed by regional or national government or dicatated by developers.

Good access from Burlington Close by opening up present cul-de-sac. Safe access for pedestrians to school/shop/community ammenites/children's play park as no need to cross A595. Would blend with housing on current estate and would not cause any loss of visual ammentiy.

Natural village extension but would have to leave appropriate margin near power lines as has already been done for plots R211# and RN329#. Safe vehicular access to A595 and safe pedestrian route to school/shop/community ammenities/children's park without crossing said main road. Would blend with existing estate and cause no loss of visual ammenity. Would hopefully attract families with young children to attend a very good school.

Poor access from a very narrow lane. Would oppose any expansion of housing at Beckside for this reason. Negotiating existing lane with parked traffic by current residents/visitors is an obstacle course.

Access would have to be from narrow and steep road of Askewgate Brow. Traffic already heavier than normal here because of health centre. Only other alternative would be along other narrow road behind the Villas which again is inappropriate. Would cause loss of visual ammentiy and would mean more vehicles using the poor junction at the top of Askewgate Brow with the A595 and pedestrians having to cross this busy road to use the village school and other facilities. Would not blend with the houses in this part of the village very well as it would be a large modern block against the existing mixed-age ribbon development.
