Plans are currently being
drawn up for approximately 300 homes to be built on the site, by the
developer - Almaren PLC (a partner of Luminus Group).
Mr Jackson has a number of concerns
surround the development that he wishes to raise with Mr Abraham,
inter alia:
-
Whether the road network in the
area can support such a large increase in local dwellings
-
Whether the dwellings proposed
meet the housing requirements of local people
-
Whether there will be sufficient
parking provision in the area
-
Why such a high density per acre
has been determined
Ahead of the meeting, Stewart
commented: “I am not against development, but new housing must be in
keeping with the surrounding area, meet local demand and not have a
negative impact on the local transport network and public services.
“Following the meeting with Luminus,
I shall be liaising closely with local councillors Matthew and
Samantha Dalton, along with the Thorpe Gate Residents Association,
to ensure only an appropriate scheme is given planning permission.”
