  • Dear Sir/Madam I Wish to Register My Objection to the Proposed Development Next to the AI Service Station at Wetherby
    From: To: Site Allocations Plan Subject: PNE00145_Planing next to A1 services Date: 02 November 2016 17:03:08 Dear Sir/Madam I wish to register my objection to the proposed Development next to the AI Service station at Wetherby. I like thousands of other Wetherby residents would like you to LISTEN to the people before it is too late! Wetherby is a small town where it is impossible to park, long waits for doctors appointments, over crowded roads, and you have already ignored the people of Wetherby and surrounding villages and gone ahead with 3 huge housing developments . THIS IS JUST NOT SUSTAINABLE and we are FULL!! Why are you hellbent on ruining Wetherby as a nice rural Market town ! The current infrastructure never mind the environment cannot possible absorb these huge developments ! As it stands, new road structures should be put in place to help Spofforth, North Deighton and Kirk Deighton . These villages are been used as a through run to and from Harrogate to York and although these villages are under North Yorkshire . However it is West Yorkshire planning council causing all the traffic problems. Putting in the new road from Wetherby up to and past the service station to York road has tripled the traffic through Kirk Deighton and this was never taken into account. Your new proposed plans to build a further 1449 houses will totally ruin Wetherby and its surrounding villages. I think the council needs to adopt some common sense, which has been greatly lacking when it comes to road traffic issues in the last few years ! Regards L.
