New Houses in Longsdon Hello. My Name Is John From: Sent: 18 August 2015 22:21 To: Forward Plans Subject: New houses in Longsdon Hello. My name is John Kent of Dunelm, Denford Road, Longsdon, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire ST9 9QG. I have lived in Longsdon for the past 40 years and have seen the village deteriorate from a vibrant village with plenty of public activities with school and shops to an old people/commuter village. Village life that existed 40 years ago has gone. I believe that some new build properties are required in the village aimed at younger people to bring the village back to life. Not the three storey dolls hose type. However, I do not think the proposed sites are the right ones and before any properties are built a sewerage system needs to be installed. Plot L002 is at present a festering cess pit with outflow from the houses on Sutherland Road and the Wheel Public House contributing the that situation. When I was on the Parish council some years ago I had three visits from the SMDC health department to look at the sewerage situation in that field and all were going to do something to clear it up but none of them did anything and when I tried to contact the persons they had moved on somewhere else. The main reason for my objection from both L002 and L007 is access from the plots into the main traffic flow. On Sutherland Road there are always cars parked in front of the houses and therefore restricts the road to a single carriage way, hence producing a hazard to traffic exiting the plot. The next problem is getting from Sutherland Road onto the A53 at the Wheel cross roads. It is an accident waiting to happen now and an increase of traffic at that junction would double the hazard. Traffic lights might be the answer. Access from plot L007 is even more dangerous as traffic coming from Leek towards Endon at 40+ mph cannot be seen from the exit of that plot due to the bend in the road. There has already been fatalities in that area. A similar situation exists when making an exit from the Memorial Hall but it is the traffic coming from the Endon direction that cannot be seen. I asked several years ago for a mirror to be put on the opposite side of the A53 to the Memorial Hall entrance but the Highways Department do not fit mirrors on main highways or so I was told. As stated earlier I think some houses are needed in the village and I suggest a better location for these would be on and around the old New Inn Public House, with access from all properties built, onto Denford Road at the bottom end of the plot. I am aware that a large septic tank has already been installed on that land and planning permission for two dwellings on the footprint of the public house has been granted. This would be a much safer site on which to build. I would also agree with infill building around the village. In summary, my objection to building on the proposed plots is on the grounds of dangerous access to the existing roads. Regards, John Kent -----Original Message----- From: ELIZABETH KNOBBS Sent: 13 September 2015 20:24 To: Forward Plans Subject: New Housing Development Dear Sir/Madam I wish to express my concerns regarding the proposal to build 20 houses in Longsdon. All these houses will need some kind of septic tank for sewage, the run off of which will have to drain down the fields. As a resident living lower down the bank I know these fields are already saturated. My greatest concern is the amount of traffic that will be generated in such a small area with very poor access. Sutherland Road is already a difficult junction with poor visibility when pulling out onto the A53. It is also difficult turning into Sutherland road as residents park on the left side of the road reducing it to a single lane, thus if cars are queing to exit those attempting to turn into Sutherland road have to wait with the rear of the car still jutting onto the A53. The notion of making an exit lower down the A53 worries me the most as my good friend died there some years ago in an road traffic accident. There is no safe speed limit to accommodate this. Traffic can be controlled with traffic lights etc but to build 20 houses along the main road and add traffic lights would completely change Longsdon from lovely a village to an urban extension of the town. There may well be several plots scattered around Longsdon that would enable around 10 houses to be built that would maintain the character of our lovely village. My own opinion is that some of these houses should be affordable to enable young people who have grown up here to buy a home in the village. Yours Sincerely Mrs Elizabeth Knobbs From: Stephen Knobbs Sent: 13 September 2015 19:38 To: Forward Plans Subject: Proposed Dwellings In Logsdon - SMDC Although everyone agrees that new housing is required within the local area, I personally think that the village of Longsdon is not the correct place for 20 new build homes. The proposed location is a poor choice when you consider that the infrastructure really isn't in place to support such a large amount of dwellings. Please note the following: 1 - All of the properties in Longsdon have to use septic tanks with regards to sewage - These have to be accessible at all times with regards to emptying. 2 - The proposed areas don't have adequate drainage. 3 - The amount of traffic that 20 new homes would create in such a small area would cause extra congestion when attempting to leave either by Sutherland Road or Denford Road.(Several fatalities on the main road during the last several years.) 4 - Longsdon has neither a school or shop, thus encouraging even more road use to and from the area. Yours Sincerly Stephen Knobbs Site Options and Development Boundaries Consultation – Response Form Site Options and Development Boundaries Consultation – Response Form Name: Terence Woolliscroft ……………………………………………………………………………… Address Agent (if applicable)…………………………………………………………………… Please return this form by 5pm on 14th September 2015 by: Email to: [email protected] or by post to: Freepost RRLJ-XCTC-JBZK Forward Plans Staffordshire Moorlands District Council Regeneration Services Moorlands House Stockwell Street Leek ST13 6HQ.

I wish to object to the proposed development on site LO002 for a number of reasons. I believe that - 1. TRAFFIC The inevitable increase in traffic volume will cause an increased hazard at the junction between Sutherland Road and the A53. This junction is already very dangerous. There is a high concentration of junctions, and resulting emerging traffic onto the A53, between Sutherland Road and Denford Road including Sutherland Road, School Lane, The Wheel public house, Longsdon Memorial; Hall, The Church, plus several houses. There are also two bus stops and the zebra crossing. This stretch of road is known to be dangerous and there has been one fatality Staffordshire Moorlands Local Plan – July 2015 Site Options and Development Boundaries Consultation – Response Form in recent years. A housing development of the type proposed at the top of Sutherland Road will inevitably make matters worse. 2. SEWAGE No mains sewage disposal facilities are available in the village. We rely on septic tanks. We have been previously informed, by Council officers, that the first strata of the land is already ‘full.’ An increase in the concentration of homes, in high density in this small area, will add to the problem of sewage disposal in the village and could become a health hazard. I am concerned therefore that further untreated sewage might leak into the existing natural water courses. Septic tanks serving properties in Sutherland Road and the A53 already exist in this area. 3. NATURAL LANSCAPE A large concentration of new homes at the top of Sutherland Road will inevitably spoil the natural landscape in this long- established village which is in Green Belt. 4. UNNECESSARY HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT A large concentration of high density housing at the top of Sutherland Road is unnecessary. There is other land available throughout the village for balanced and staged infill building which will not spoil the special landscape. Development by infill is part of the history and traditional growth of this village. 5. THE RIBBON A development of high density housing at the top of Sutherland Road will add to the ribbon development which is being created between Leek, Stoke-on-Trent and on into Newcastle-under-Lyme and beyond. I think that planners need to be very careful not to create what will become in effect one continuous settlement between Leek and Keele. 6. TOURISM One of the attractions which brings tourists to Leek is the variety of its surrounding villages.

The abundance and variety of flora and fauna was also an interesting aspect of the changing environment along the river; indeed it became difficult to decide what to include and what to omit. I therefore decided that the place of this book was to provide an intro- duction to the river as it is at present, with references to its past life and work, leaving any deeper research into particular features to those with more particular or specialist interest in specific areas and buildings.
