Representation ID: 26173

Received: 04/02/2020

Respondent: Ravenswood Residents Association

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

IP150a, IP150d and IP150e equate to 254 houses. Should fully reflect 65.8% private housing and 34.2% social housing mix. Recommend additional new access to Ravenswood to cope with anticipated surge in traffic volumes. Already heavy congestion at access point during; morning/ evening peaks, school drop-off/ pick-up, and, lunch times, which prevents emergency vehicles access. Does "Highway Network" just refer to the Nacton Road/ Thrasher Roundabout or ALL local roads? Second access road should relieve pressure for whole of Ravenswood, not just new sites. Upgrading private road to south of Ravenswood needed as second access. Has additional pupil demand been considered?

Change suggested by respondent:

A new second access road should be included and should serve the whole of Ravenswood, not just any new sites.
