*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% which is the highest in the district (and 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 and Mallory Road. Pedestrians wishing to cross Oakley Wood Road are at huge risk at peak times.
*None of the 27 measures contained in DLP STA 4 will directly mitigate the negative impacts of the huge increase in traffic movements on the people of Bishops Tachbrook, specifically:
1.Health and wellbeing with respect to congestion, road safety / speeding, air pollution, noise pollution and vibration, particularly along 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.
