West End Development, Exton. Access to this site is presently limited. Any heavy or oversized trucks could only approach through the village via Stamford Road and Top Street. Buildings here are very old and roads are narrow. Drainage system in this area is incapable of handling a high level of vehicles. Possibly consider opening up the track road from West End through to Cottesmore Road. This route runs through Exton Estates land and would miss Exton Village entirely. I would like to see a Schedule of Works and the Risk Assessment for this proposal.

Density of development: too many homes on small site. Associated increase in traffic through High Street, Stamford Road, Top Street creating safety/sustainability issues especially with old houses many with front doors opening directly to the street; narrow roads; poor visibility, especially at High Street/West End/Top Street and Old Dairy Yard/Top Street. Existing problems with sewage infrastructure. Possible mitigations might include: fewer (say no more than five houses); open/widen (currently private) track from West End to Cottesmore Road; improve sewage infrastructure; re-site some/all of development . Would like to see full Risk Assessment.

I support in principle this development on a brownfield site.

Land East at the Workshops, Exton is draft allocated for 15 dwellings (H.10). The draft allocation within the plan identifies the site as “brownfield” when the Site Allocations Assessment identifies it has “greenfield.” It appears that whilst part of the site is occupied by hardstanding and buildings, these are in fact in agricultural use meaning that the site is not, in fact, brownfield either in whole or in part. The Site Allocations Assessment does not contain any highways comments but it would appear from reviewing the narrow and constrained nature of the access, and its current and presumably future use for what appears to be a fairly intensive agricultural operation, that achieving access for the scale of development anticipated would be challenging.

The site at West End – called the Workshops on the Plan sits just 50% outside of the existing PLD. (Again, note this has been changed on the new Local Plan without notice.). This site is more suitable for housebuilding. However, access to the site is impossible as both High Street and Top Street are too narrow to allow HGV vehicles to safely pass parked cars. I would suggest the only feasible access for construction purposes would be through Exton Park from the Cottesmore Road. Full radon surveys should be undertaken before any planning permissions are considered.
