Traffic congestion is a key concern for residents. The CS fails to properly assess development and infrastructure requirements including the cumulative effects on traffic, air pollution, fresh water and wastewater. Hospitals, schools and access to GPs and social care are currently inadequate, how will they and other infrastructure and services e.g. drainage cope with growth?
Updated traffic and air quality modelling should be undertaken and development not be permitted unless effective mitigation can be implemented. Fresh/waste water infrastructure needs to be objectively assessed and key infrastructure listed in the CS. The risks to delivery should be identified.
