STONEY CROSS JUNCTION A4103<br />

No this isn’t another crash at this “improved<br />

and safer” junction.<br />

Over the last few weeks there have been<br />

several crashes at this junction despite<br />

many thousands of pounds being spent in<br />

making it safer.<br />

Fair play to those on the PC and at Hereford<br />

for their efforts in bringing it about….<br />

Now we are faced by complete madness<br />

brought about by the person determined to<br />

develop the land adjoining the junction.<br />

He has, against opposition, gained planning<br />

permission for five houses. He now has an<br />

application for a further 11 dwellings (as is<br />

his right to apply for). Unfortunately his<br />

architects have taken no account of the<br />

road junction and its history in their plans to allow an access directly from the<br />

site onto the A4103 onto this dangerous junction. Taking into account the fact<br />

that he blatantly intends to develop the remainder of this site and thereby<br />

intends to increase the traffic accessing the A4103.<br />

The Enquirer sincerely hopes that the PC at the January meeting will make<br />

robust objections to this development (which contravenes the NDP) and was<br />

specified in the 2010 Parish Plan as a “Village Gateway” of visual importance.<br />

The fact that his own development has altered the landscape assessment<br />

level for the site should be totally ignored.<br />

Profit from development should never be at a cost of<br />

potential injury and death of road users<br />

Members of the community are reminded that they can<br />

make representation on all planning applications for our<br />

Parish as individuals giving planning reasons as a basis<br />
