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