Increased Traffic
Concerns: The development of Site B1 is likely to exacerbate traffic congestion in the area. According to the
Final SA Appendices Regulation 18, all Strategic Growth
Locations (SGLs) are expected to increase traffic and associated air pollution. This could worsen air quality and lead to longer commute times, impacting the quality of life for current residents. Lack of Amenities: The proposed development does not adequately address the need for essential amenities. The Final SA Appendices Regulation 18 highlights that the scale of development will place increased demand on existing local services, potentially limiting accessibility for both current and future residents. Without sufficient investment in new local shops, healthcare facilities, and public transport, the development could lead to a decline in the quality of life. Overcrowding: The addition of new homes in Site B1 could lead to overcrowding, putting further strain on already stretched local resources. The document mentions that new settlements are expected to have a major positive impact on housing provision, but this must be balanced with the capacity of local infrastructure to support the increased population. Alternative Use - Hospital Expansion: Given the current strain on healthcare facilities, a more beneficial use of the land would be to expand healthcare services. The Final SA Appendices Regulation 18 notes that many new settlements are located outside the sustainable distance to an NHS Hospital with A&E services. Expanding the hospital facilities on Site B1 could alleviate pressure on existing healthcare services and improve access to emergency healthcare for the community.
Quality of life for all in this area will drastically decline and access to healthcare, education, and ease of transportation between commuter towns will suddenly become much worse.
