  • Whitchurch Village Council Response
    Whitchurch Village Council Community Centre Office Bristol Road Whitchurch Bristol BS14 0PT [email protected] nd 2 ​ March 2019 ​ Dear Sir/Madam, WVC: Objection to WECA JLTP4 2019-2036 Consultation Please find enclosed an objection to the WECA Joint Local Transport Plan for 2019 – 2036 on behalf of Whitchurch Village Council (WVC). WVC has responsibility for the whole parish of Whitchurch, and plays a vital role in acting on behalf of the community it represents. The Council has a wide range of powers and responsibilities including: ● Administration of open spaces, play areas, bus shelters, cemeteries, allotments. ● Assessment of planning applications and other proposals which may affect the parish ● Undertaking projects and schemes that benefit local residents ● Helping other tiers of local government keep in touch with their local communities The Village Council has previously objected to the Joint Spatial Plan (JSP). Specifically, it has significant concerns about, and has objected to the allocation of a strategic development location which allocates Whitchurch as an SDL in the JSP (7.2 Whitchurch). The WVC objection to the JLTP4 is also an objection to the principle of further unnecessary road developments which is seen as a precursor to an urban extension for Bristol, within Whitchurch, which will harm the character, setting and environment of the village. The JLTP is predicated on a false premise that the strategic development locations within the JSP are required, and are identified in the best locations. They are not. The only rationale for the relief road from Hicks Gate to Whitchurch is to open up land for development.

  • 7. Noise and Vibration
    7-1 © Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions UK Limited 7. Noise and Vibration 7.1 Introduction 7.1.1 This chapter of the Environmental Statement (ES) has been prepared by Bickerdike Allen Partners LLP and assesses the likely significant effects of the Proposed Development with reference to noise and vibration. The chapter should be read in conjunction with Chapter 2: Description of the Proposed Development. The chapter considers the noise and vibration associated with the following activities at Bristol Airport: Flights into and out of Bristol Airport (air noise and vibration); Aircraft operations at Bristol Airport (ground noise); Bristol Airport related road traffic movements (road traffic noise); and Construction of the infrastructure associated with the Proposed Development (construction noise and vibration). 7.1.2 The operational noise and vibration is assessed for 2017 and for future years, both with and without the Proposed Development. 7.1.3 This chapter commences by describing the noise related planning context against which the Proposed Development will be considered. It goes on to present and discuss the baseline noise environment at Bristol Airport and then considers the likely significant effects of changes to air, ground, road traffic and construction noise and vibration in both the ‘with’ and ‘without the Proposed Development’ scenarios. Within these sections the assessment criteria and methodology are presented, the baseline noise conditions discussed where relevant, and assessments are made of any effects (beneficial and adverse) associated with the Proposed Development. Mitigation measures are also described, where appropriate, as are cumulative and residual effects. 7.1.4 The assessment of noise and vibration involves a significant amount of technical detailed work and to seek to maintain this chapter as concise and informative as possible, this chapter is supplemented by a series of appendices which provide further detail on each of the specific topics.

But principal planning for development management at B&NES Council, Chris Gomm, is warning of “significant odour” from the scheme which would affect not just properties close by but in the wider Keynsham area. And with 116 proposed HGV movements per day, which would include movements before 8am and after 6pm, Mr Gomm says the effect of the increase in traffic in terms of road safety, traffic flow, suitability of roads, air quality, noise and health could be significant. In addition, he warns: “Movement of large volumes of maize will generate dust and the rotting process is likely to create significant volumes of Aspergillus spores. This has the potential to give rise to significant effects on human and animal health.” He says a number of items of plant are proposed which, when operating simultaneously, could potentially have significant noise (and health) effects on properties nearby and the wider Keynsham area and adds that it is not clear whether measures proposed to manage surface water are adequate.

    Appendix 4: South West Keynsham Location 4.1 The South West Keynsham site is situated around 1.7km south of Keynsham town centre to the east of the village of Queen Charlton (See Figure A4.1). Figure A4.1: SW Keynsham - Proposed Development Site Location Plan Planning Policy 4.2 The site comprises a series of 14 fields set across a gently sloping plateau to the west of the Chew Valley. The boundary includes a small cluster of residential properties along Parkhouse Lane. The Core Strategy consultation document identifies the site for residential-led mixed use development of around 200 dwellings in the plan period. The site is to the south of the K2B development site, also identified (and granted permission) for residential-led mixed use development. 4.3 The site is predominantly surrounded by farmland; to the north is Abbots Wood, a planted community woodland along with the K2B development site. 4.4 To the east the land slopes steeply down to the Chew Valley which contains the small settlements of Chewton Place and Chewton Keynsham. Sources of Evidence 4.5 The following sources of evidence were used in the preparation of this appendix: Bath & North East Somerset Historic Environment Record 4.6 In summary, the Historic Environment Record (HER) contains the following records within the site and a wider 1km study area around it (Figure A4.1): • 2 Scheduled Monuments: Chewton Keynsham Packhorse Bridge (DBN58 / MBN1224) and Queen Charlton Village Cross (DBN17 / MBN1202) • 71 non-designated archaeological ‘monuments’ (sites or find-spots) • 14 archaeological ‘events’ (fieldwork, assessments, etc) • 2 locally-designated Parks & Gardens: Chewton Place (DBN3654 / MBN4319) and The Manor (DBN3608 / MBN2602).
