Ymatebydd: Mickleton Society

.The Society is concerned about potential large scale development at and around Long Marston and Meon Vale served by the B4632 road and the impact traffic generated by such development would have on Mickleton which is also served by the same road.
.The same road passes through the heart of the village of Mickleton, a Conservation area, and passes several Grade I and Grade II listed buildings in which the Society has a particular interest.
.The supporting documents to SWLP consider the issues of traffic going north towards Stratford and highlight potential issues exacerbated by the difficulties the local authorities have in providing any relief road scheme. The supporting documents do not consider, or consider adequately, traffic coming south in and through Mickleton where the road system is inadequate to support a substantial increase in traffic. There are no readily available alternative routes.
.Whilst welcoming attempts to encourage the provision and use of public transport, the Society considers it borders on the naive to suggest that public transport, cycling routes and home working will materially reduce increased volumes of vehicular traffic arising from additional housing development served by the road particularly as Long Marston and Meon do not have employment opportunities to negate an increase in vehicular commuter traffic.
