Re: Objection to HELAA Part B Site Assessment - Land at Chessetts Wood Road, Lapworth

Roads:
Chessetts Wood Road, although called a ‘road’ is effectively a lane. It has no central or side white lines, no pavements, is unlit and a 60mph speed limit. The road is already a dangerous and busy cut through and additional residents will only add to that danger.
Chessetts Wood Road also floods to the point of closure several times per year
Services:
The area faces frequent power cuts, and significant investment is needed to support new dwellings, particularly with air source heat pumps. There is no mains gas, and the water supply and sewage systems may not handle additional demand. Mobile phone coverage is poor and may not support extra capacity.
Environment:
There are two popular National Trust properties in the locality and they, along with the beautiful countryside attract visitors from across the County and wider areas. Additional development within the area is likely to harm this attraction and is at odds with the councils #1 planning policy of wanting a beautiful environment.
