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.

Representation Summary:

The Online consultation refers to this as being sites Sand T but these were built out prior to April 2019, The correct reference should be sites U, V, W. It is questioned whether these can be stated as having planning permission as they relate to an historic Outline Planning Permission which is no longer extant.

Change suggested by respondent:

The plan should contain a policy which explains what is proposed for sites U, V , W given that the sites no longer have planning consent and it would be unreasonable to rely on an old planning permission to guide what would be proposed. The site has been removed from the plan without justification.
