Petition against using Greenhouse Gardens as access for proposed development of 43 houses at the former Cummings Nursery
This is a petition for those who are against using Greenhouse Gardens as access for the proposed development of 43 houses at the former Cummings Nursery, due to the following reasons:
1) There is an existing access road at the west of the site which was the original access road for the nursery used for delivery HGVs taking produce away and deliveries etc.
2) Greenhouse Gardens is not intended for heavy construction traffic as its surface is dressed with residential quality tarmac and block paving not carriageway quality materials and will therefore be wrecked.
3) This is a residential road with cars parked for loading and unloading children for school, delivery vans etc. mixed with large HGVs trying to negotiate the narrow road and S-bends will create a danger to life and limb.
4) At present, the road is being considered for adoption by DDC, this may not happen, who will pay for the refurbishment of the road after being trashed by the construction process?
5) During the construction process there will be 50 odd operatives parking through-out the estate causing grief and complaints, also adding congestion to the access at Culm Lea, another reason to use the access road at west end of site.
6) Once completed there will be approx. 100 additional vehicles driving through the estate endangering residents walking and driving and also adding to the congestion at the Culm Lea junction with Honiton Road, another reason to use access road at west end of site.

The silence from the planning office remains complete but we are not going anywhere. I am spending my evenings documenting every risk this access route poses to our streets and our safety so they cannot claim they were unaware of the fallout.

Reaching this level of support is exhausting but it shows we are being seen. My energy is drained from the constant battle against these developers yet seeing so many neighbors agree that the site access is wrong keeps me pushing forward.

The roads of Culm Lea, River Drive and Greenhouse Gardens are not suitable for construction vehicles to use, either by their width or road surface type (brick). Devonshire Homes when they constructed the road in Greenhouse Gardens openly stated to the local residents that the brick surface was only suitable for light vehicles and NOT construction vehicles!!!!
Access during the construction phase should 100% be via the lane opposite Mole Valley and not through the existing Greenhouse Gardens.
There are often many cars parked at the kerbside of roads on this estate. Like most modern housing developments, parking areas are insufficient. Poor provision has been made for the many households who, by necessity, own more than one vehicle. Using this estate as an access route to 40+ more properties is ludicrous.
Complete lack of infrastructure for the proposed route to be practical. Potential for Significant damage will be caused to the road, the cars parked on it and also potential for injury to the people who use existing estate everyday
Being resident's of Greenhouse Gardens we are extremely concerned of the issues raised in this petition. We are also concerned that this road will become a race track for those driver's with no concern for others.
Strongly object on the grounds of access through Greenhouse Gardens being totally unsuitable for use by heavy vehicles and additional cars, on an already over used road.

We were promised by MDDC Planning that Greenhouse Gardens would NOT be used for access. It would seem that, is no longer true!
