ROAD ACCESS - it seems that access to this site will be via busy roads on existing housing estates. This cannot be acceptable as it will add to congestion and safety hazards.
NEW SCHOOL ACCESS - Along roads through a busy housing estate.
PEDESTRIAN/CYCLE ACCESS THROUGH FIELDGATE LANE BRIDGE - Will almost certainly encourage many cars to Fieldgate Lane (to drop students off) through an area which is already heavily used by school traffic (Golf Lane / Coppice Road etc).This is already a hazard.
FLOODING POTENTIAL - Fieldgate Lane is in a valley. The drainage channel in Fieldgate Lane already takes drainage from the adjacent field / Golf Course / Golf Lane Bridle Path / surrounding streets and is at its limit at times of heavy rainfall. The water is often fast flowing and reaches within inches of the top of the channel. The council already have to regularly clean it out to maintain flow. This channel passes under the railway line through a pipe and drains into the area of the proposed new school. I have already had house insurance refused due to the perceived flood risk. I feel that any development on the east side of the railway line will make this situation worse as this is already a flood plain.
