005/21/PL PLANNING CORRESPONDENCE
1.Barriers in Chapel Road – Latest update – Man hole covers in short supply Deputy Clerk confirmed these are in short supply.
2. Telephone call received from a member of Burnett’s Lane Residents Association: Would like to raise concerns regarding the One Horton Heath development: • There has been frequent fly tipping along Burnett’s Lane when the road has been closed • Integrity of Burnett’s Lane has been compromised due to HGV’s and large vehicles visiting the OHH site. Increase in the number of potholes. They have been repaired, however due to poor drainage and excess surface water, this causes the potholes to re appear. • On the Chalcroft site – due to tachograph rules, vehicles haven been parked along the side roads and lay bye’s and drivers have been sleeping in their vehicles. Planning & Highways Committee – 6th April 2021
• Are there any plans to connect the cycle route from OHH and Moorgreen Road? This will ensure a safe route connecting the development to cyclists wishing to access West End village facilities. • When Burnett’s Lane road has been closed, the turning circle has not been big enough - making it difficult for larger vehicles to turn. • It is not clear on the plans where the nearest bus stop will be. The development should be encouraging the use of public transport and sustainable travel. • The OHH development should take inspiration from the new Poundbury development in Dorset, on land owned by Prince Charles. • These points have been previously raised with EBC, however no response has been received.
Has been passed to Fair Oak and Horton Heath Councils. Cllr Asman advised she is happy to contact Horton Heath council if there is any further communication.
