You have until 3rd April to make your feelings known on this website http://planningconsultatio.avisonyoung.co.uk/

Even if you approve of this development you will probably be horrified to hear that at present the plans are to use Pepper Street for construction access. This would require a ban on village centre car parking to facilitate the shuttle of Heavy Goods Vehicles along this route.

Pepper Street and parts of Little Heath Lane are too narrow for HGV and buses to pass without mounting the kerbs endangering pedestrians and cyclists. It should be a condition that the developer, with the agreement of the landowner to have access to the site across the fields from Pearl Lane.
