isn't a footpath on either side. We use this route on a<br />

regular basis walking with our dog and grandson and<br />

we have to take great care as vehicles frequently<br />

come down Northleigh Lane at speed greater than the<br />

30mph limit. This obviously can be quite dangerous<br />

specially if they turn into Leigh Lane.<br />

Secondly, we cannot see where tradesmen's vehicles<br />

could park safely nor where delivery vehicles could<br />

unload without causing significant hazards for all other<br />

road users.<br />

The crossroads <strong>of</strong> Northleigh Lane, Leigh Lane and<br />

Beaucr<strong>of</strong>t Lane have already been the scene <strong>of</strong><br />

several accidents and the proposed access can only<br />

really increase the potential for a serious accident.<br />

Object<br />

I believe that the crossroads <strong>of</strong> Northleigh Lane will be<br />

made even more dangerous than they presently are.<br />

If the development is permitted, any cars entering or<br />

leaving Lingmell would pose a real threat to cars<br />

turning into Leigh Lane, as cars turning into Leigh<br />

Lane would have to pause in the middle <strong>of</strong> this<br />

junction waiting for them to clear.<br />

Please do not make an already very dangerous<br />

junction even more hazardous by permitting the<br />

development at Lingmell.<br />

Object<br />

We have considerable concerns regarding the<br />

position <strong>of</strong> the access for vehicles to and from the site.<br />

The plans show that it is intended for both vehicles<br />

and pedestrians to use a driveway <strong>of</strong> barely 3 metres<br />

to be constructed within approximately 14 metres <strong>of</strong> a<br />

very difficult junction <strong>of</strong> Northleigh Lane, Leigh Lane<br />

and Beaucr<strong>of</strong>t Lane.<br />

It is shown that it is intended for there to be a 2 metre<br />

high fence bounding the highway, joined by a 2 metre<br />

high brick wall bounding the entire west side <strong>of</strong> the<br />

driveway.<br />

The verge at the point intended for the driveway<br />

entrance is barely 2 metres.<br />

There is no apparent intention for a significant visibility<br />

splay to minimise the hazard.<br />

It is unlikely that it would be possible to make the<br />

entrance wider since the distance between the east<br />

boundary <strong>of</strong> the proposed plot to the BT box shown is<br />
