The Pru submitted their new detailed plan
on Christmas Eve and the deadline for objections is Wednesday 6
February. Even if you objected to their last plan (over 5,000
did), to be certain your opinion is considered you need to object now to
the new detailed plan 07/03197/major. Object
here >
The detailed plan summary points:
-
Additional traffic forecast: now the developer
expects up to 8,000 vehicle movements (lorries, vans and cars) per
day and additionally over 5,500 HGVs movements per week, with
further traffic potential
-
Remains 1,250,000 sq ft of floorspace operating 24
hours/day x 7 days/week (24 x 7)
-
Still wanting traffic lights to replace the busy Minley Link/Summit Avenue roundabout to make it easier for their
HGVs to manoeuvre!
-
10 Mega sheds (up to 60ft tall) will continue to
cause massive over development
-
No mention of the pending Pyestock South 24 x 7
development, which will bring additional traffic at the Pyestock
Roundabout (close to Nokia)
Our previous concerns still apply and additionally the
increased amount and type of traffic is just not suited for our already
stressed local road infrastructure and will bring an irreversible impact
through increased and extended traffic congestion!
Our previous concerns included:
-
Excessive traffic generation with HGVs, LGVs and cars
x 24 hours a day x 7 days a week
-
Continuous and significant noise, air and light
pollution
-
The resulting buildings would be massive, unsightly
and spoil the visual amenity of the area
-
The development would have a disproportionate
negative impact on our quality of life, including residential and
conservation areas (e.g. Fleet Pond Nature Reserve, SSSIs, SPA)
-
Conflicts with local policy as it will significantly
damage the rural character and open nature of the location forever
-
Unsustainable development, conflicts with national
and regional policy, more appropriate locations with sustainable
rail freight should be considered
-
The massive over development would result in urban
sprawl and destroy the protected Strategic Gap between Farnborough
and Fleet
Every adult should object separately, please tell your
family, friends and work colleagues. Object
