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 />
