• Chairman’s update
LAM 400 response from Clifford Chambers and Milcote Parish Council.
On Monday 8th January, Cllrs. Bachelor, Hall, Wyles and myself from Clifford Chambers and Milcote Parish Council attended a meeting with officers from WCC, SDC and CALA Homes along with Cllrs Mike Brian and Peter Barnes to discuss the current planning application relating to the LMA 400.
The application clearly identifies the need to improve the local infrastructure in particular the B4632. In relation to the proposal for a ghost Island right hand turn from the B4632 at the ‘Freshfields’ turn, the Parish Council members voiced their objections to this proposal as we believe it increases the risk of collision rather than reducing it. We pointed out that traffic travelling from Long Marsden towards Stratford first slowing and then becoming stationary to turn right will be in danger from fast moving traffic from behind. We believe, from experience, that this proposal is unacceptable and positively dangerous.
In addition, the Parish Council stated that we firmly believe that any solution should be integrated into other proposals for the B4632 including the Milcote Road/Clifford Chambers entrance and should not be done in isolation.
The Parish Council also stated that we wanted to be assured that the current conditions applied to the building of the first 400 homes is not subsumed into the conditions for the expected planning application for the next phase of development for the Garden Village. It is important that an agreement on improving the B4632 in particular, is completed as required before the first of the 400 are occupied.
Mention is made in the application of the access from the site onto the Greenway. The Parish Council members noted that we support this and point out that little is said about the maintenance and improvement of the Greenway (a section of which passes through our parish) which clearly will get increasing use. It was pointed out that we would wish to see this highlighted, identifying the need for and timing of improvement of the existing surface and clearly showing the responsible agency for maintenance within this application.
