I can't untick 'no' in the legally compliant box. Not that I believe it is, but I don't have a specific legal reason why this is unsound.
This proposal does not work in this location. It would be a disproportionate increase on the size of the village. Therefore it would have a significant impact on services. In particular the formal play space and primary school. The primary school cannot get any bigger in its current location.
The main issue is that the access to this site is poor and not easily improved. Golborne Rd is currently a nirth south rat run with traffic backing up from the A49 junction each morning, and heavy traffic north bound in the evenings.
This makes it difficult to get on/off the road onto properties. This will not to improve with the park side development and access from Golborne Rd. The 130 homes in OS6, with multiple car occupancy, will make traffic significantly worse on Golborne Rd and also Myddleton Lane and Waterworks Lane. Waterworks lane would need to be profiled to handle the increase in two way traffic.
Contrary to the statement, this is not in a sustainable location. And it does not matter if it is being promoted by owner/developers they stand to gain financially from this, where the village suffers.
Contrary to the statement, an appropriate access cannot be provided. Yes a junction can be provided off Golborne Rd to the site, but this development cannot improve Golborne Rd itself or the Golborne Rd/A49 junction.

I believe I'm too late and permission has been granted.
In short: This is a colossal proposal. The issue of roads is identified and this scheme cannot progress with out significant highway alterations. This must have measures that restrict or discourage use of construction traffic and multiple vehicle occupancy of 1200 homes using delph lane to Winwick.
It is very sad that this building, its history and ground will be lost.
