*The DLP generates significant traffic movements through Bishops Tachbrook most acutely along the B4087 Oakley Wood Road.
*The predicted increase in peak time traffic along B4087 Oakley Wood Road is 75% (obtained via freedom of information request) which is the highest in the district (& not including SDC Gaydon/Lighthorne development which should be included under the duty to co-operate).
* There is a well-documented speeding problem through the village on the B4087 Oakley Wood Road & Mallory Road. Pedestrians wishing to cross Oakley Wood Road are at huge risk at peak times.
* The DLP contains no measures to mitigate the negative impacts of the huge increase in traffic movements on the people of Bishops Tachbrook, specifically:
1.Health & wellbeing with respect to congestion, road safety / speeding, air pollution, noise pollution & vibration, particularly on Oakley Wood Road.
2.Community cohesion - the increased isolation of the Savages Close area from the village due to the huge increase in traffic along Oakley Wood Road effectively cutting them off.
3.Degradation of the historic environment along the Oakley Wood Road conservation area and vibration damage to listed buildings.
