I am concerned that the proposed development of 50 odd houses will change the characteristics of the village. Already we have a very busy High street with few available parking spaces during the day. The developments of new houses already in the village and in near by Edzell Woods certainly has increased the traffic flow through Edzell. My main concern, however, is the access route to the new development. Inveriscandye road is narrow and often parked cars along it's length make it even narrower. Also the entry to the High street from Ramsay street or Inveriscandye road is not good. The sight lines at these junctions make it difficult to see moving traffic on the High Street. Increasing the traffic flow will make accidents more likely. More work is required on traffic management and suggests that the best solution would be to create a new access road through the woods. Thank you for this opportunity to comment on a major proposed development in Edzell.

The main concern I wish to comment on, is safe accessibility, not only during the construction period, but also in the future when the new properties are occupied. The Castle Gardens development was completed approximately 20 years ago. At that time, because access was not difficult and did not affect the very few nearby properties on Lethnot Road, traffic/pedestrian safety was not foreseen as a difficulty. However, our 50+ properties have created certain concerns which have had to be dealt with (an ongoing problem). I am sure that the existing accesses to the new 57 property development will create many safety issues, mainly because they pass a very large number of existing properties on both sides of Inveriscandye Road and Ramsay Street. Therefore, notwithstanding other concerns, such as School and Health Centre capacities, I am sure that many of the existing residents would be very relieved if a new permanent road was included in the overall plan. I would suggest that the entrance/exit should be positioned a safe distance from Edzell Arch along the Edzell to Brechin main road.

The map submitted with the development proposal is flawed and inaccurate. The existing layout of the south-eastern end of Inveriscandye Road is unsuitable for the additional traffic the further 57 dwelling houses (rising to 80+ with a potential second phase) will generate. The "chicane" plus the need for some existing properties to park a vehicle on the roadside already makes passing difficult and is "accident prone". To widen the road to an acceptable level of safety with adequate pedestrian pavement is not possible in that area. It has been confirmed (Planning Officer - 4-8-2020) that "there will be no other works carried out in Inveriscandye Road".

There is no environmental impact assessment focusing on wildlife included in the consultation documents - I know these have been undertaken for other developments in and around Edzell. The principle of building an additional road on a greenfield site which may well impact on the protected species (red squirrels, brown hares) which are known to breed in the area in and around the current field is irresponsible, and not in keeping with the requirements within the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981. I hope the planning committee ensure the impact on rare wildlife is fully considered when making their decision, and seeks expert advice from organisations involved in wildlife heritage to ensure already vulnerable species are not adversely impacted by any development.

Otherwise why bother with boundaries? The two roads that are already accessing the 90 houses in this area have only lite traffic - these further houses would hardly change the situation.

My major concern would be the access used to facilitate the building and support of this development over a considerable period of time ie heavy traffic etc. An alternative avenue I would suggest would be to put a temporary access road through the wood somewhere before the Edzell Arch which would in effect mean virtually no traffic coming through the village! As this application is in effect a joint development with the developer/builder and land owner who is also the current proprietor of the said wood . I would hope the concerned parties would agree to this sensible proposal which in effect would I believe have the support of the the majority of the residents of Edzell and surrounding district . I trust you wlll consider the aforesaid concerns. G.A. Robertson.
