Representation Summary:

Generally supportive of a mixed tenure development on this site in line with recent SOS verdict. However, cannot support development until IBC takes significant measures to improve the flow of traffic in the area. The roundabouts at the entrance to Ravenswood are a significant bottle neck, causing dangerous congestion due to illegal manoeuvres. Traffic is regularly problematic at rush hour, but also at other hours due to the popularity of McDonald’s. Solutions might include additional entrances to the residential areas (with measures to prevent use as a cut through), additional entrances to Ravenswood retail park, additional lanes between roundabouts.
