Hello

Comments have been submitted regarding proposal Development of an automated petrol filling station. at Supermarket Kingsway Business Park Newhaven Road GL2 2SN. The following objection was made today by Mr Chuen Tsang. live in Kingsway and I shop daily at Asda, Kingsway. I object to the proposed plans for a petrol filling station for the following reasons:- 1. It appears that the petrol station is located on the edge of the site (near the roundabout). The concern is that this is located too close to the residential properties across the site and also too close to the children's recreational area across from Asda. The concern is that the fumes will spread to these areas causing pollution and potential health issues to the residents. 2. We already have petrol stations that are 3 minutes away in , Quedgeley, Shell on Bristol Road and a petrol station on the Hardwicke roundabout. There is more than enough petrol facilities within easy reach. 3. On an aesthetic level, it is not appealing to see and potentially smell a petrol station as you enter Kingsway Village as you walk and drive. It will spoil the beauty of the surrounding area. The entrance of Kingsway should be kept as it is with the beautiful and pleasant green landscaping which will help to balance the busy-ness of the main access road that connects to the dual carriageway. 4. Over the past 3 years of living here, the amount of traffic on this access road has grown substantially and this will only increase further and could be quite dangerous if the traffic queues up (especially in bad weather and poor visibility days). A petrol station would definitely attract more traffic. 5. From looking at the plans and as a local daily user of this Asda site, it appears that this site is too small for a petrol station. The area where they propose to have a lane to enter the petrol station is located near a narrow bend of the entrance of the main car park. This road is narrow enough already and to try and squeeze a lane to queue and enter the petrol station will cause congestion and affect shoppers trying to enter and leave the main car park and traffic could back up onto the Naas Lane Link Road.
