The map suggests that. there is planned use of our shared driveway as public pedestrian access to Silverdale Road.
The driveway in question is privately owned by our neighbours at the Vicarage and is the sole vehicular access for three houses, 91, 93, and 95 Silverdale Road. The driveway is maintained jointly at the expense of these three properties.
We oppose the public use of this access, objecting on the following grounds:
Loss of privacy.
Potential for noise and light disturbance, littering, damage to planting.
Additional wear and tear on the driveway due to increased footfall, bicycles, baby buggies etc.
We also feel that there would be considerable risk to pedestrians using the driveway as public access. There is insufficient width for a vehicle to pass pedestrians on the proposed route. Additionally, there would be risk from vehicles turning out of the blind bend from our personal driveway at number 93, Silverdale Road.
