| C. Highways do get things badly wrong. This road and the junction with the Caldecott Road are inherently dangerous and there will be many accidents. A. There have been no recorded accidents in 10 years on this stretch of road and Highways don't consider it to be particularly dangerous. Q. Are you saying that you will build the estate and new access road and be happy to wait for someone to get hit? A. There is always a risk on roads, they are dangerous places. We don't think this design is any more dangerous than average. |

| Q. Why are you proposing 4 access points off Higham Road rather than a roundabout? This is too dangerous as this is a fast road. A. Our design is based on Highways guidance which doesn't allow roundabouts at the top of a hill. They have to be on the flat or in a dip. We believe that this stretch of road has good visibility and cars will not have a problem exiting from the road or properties. |

| At the recent consultation meeting, the agent advised the proposed community assets of a village hall, village green and play area would be leased to the parish on a peppercorn rent. For the avoidance of doubt, would the applicant/agent explain how this complies with the adopted ENC Open Spaces Supplementary Planning Document, which would apply to a development of more then 15 dwellings, including the contribution the developer would have to provide for on-going maintenance? Note that at 50 dwellings, the play area will be a LEAP (Local Equipped Area for Play) rather than a LAP (Local Area of Play). | |||

| Q. The site proposed for development is 16 acres and you have suggested 30-40 houses for the site and a Village Green/Village Hall. Assuming an acre each for the Green and Hall that you have proposed, that is still 13-14 acres for development. If the density of development was similar to Duchy Close (9 houses per acre) then that would suggest that the site could take 117 houses. Your indicative proposal of a maximum of 40 houses would be a density of only 3 houses per acre which is well below the level required in the Core Spatial Strategy NDP-0037. If the site was to be included in the NDP with the housing levels you have proposed, it is highly likely that the plan would be ruled "unsound" as it would be an unsustainable use of land. What would your response be? This issue was raised at the informal meeting on 20th December (Filenote: NDP-0156). A. The question was answered during the review meeting NDP-C003 by the tabling of a new proposal NDP-0170 for a site half the size with 50 houses at a density comparable with Duchy Close. |
