In January 2023 as well as encouraging residents to object the Taylor Wimpey Planning application for the land west of Market Street, ECNF produced their own objection. In doing so, we took into account the views of those residents who contacted us and shared their concerns via social media.
In summary we objected to the plans on the following grounds:
- Neither the Master Plan or Planning application meet the requirements of the RBC Local Plan
- The Masterplan does not include the whole site as all developers are not represented
- Concerns over the phasing/how the development will be built have not been adequately addressed
- There is no comprehensive traffic assessment for the whole of Edenfield
- The road infra structure required for development of the whole site is not adequately addressed
- The Design Code produced by ECNF with support of RBC has not been considered
- The scale, density and character of the development is not in keeping with the village
- Concerns on ecology, drainage and flood risk are not adequately addressed
- There is no detail on the provision of local services required to supplement the development
- Sufficient school places to support the development are not adequately addressed
- Concerns regarding the environmental impact are not adequately addressed
