East Riding of Yorkshire Council – Local Development Plan January 2014
We the undersigned object to the proposal in the East Riding Local Plan to allocate development space for 85 houses in Preston.
We believe that the Allocations Document is unsound as it fails to take into account the impact of increased traffic flow in Preston. Extra traffic flow at the Abbey Lane/Sproatley Road junction will exacerbate the current congestion in Main Street. Further worsening of this traffic flow blackspot will impact emergency services, e.g. ambulance station and fire station response times from the Station Road, Preston site.

Reaching this point has been an exhausting climb but I feel a renewed sense of purpose knowing so many of you see the same danger at our junctions. I am bone tired from fighting this battle on my own until now yet your backing proves that we are right to question these plans.

The Council planners more than once promised there would be no more development in Preston without a major improvement in traffic.
The village cannot cope with traffic as it is let alone adding 85 more houses at an average of 2 cars per house especially when there are cars parked in main street for the residents who live in main street.
This proposed new development could put life's at risk
What Preston needs is a bypass, not more housing!
The traffic and parking in the village is terrible at the moment.
this is a village and has to much traffic now
too much trafic now

This area of Preston is already a traffic black spot at the start / end of the day with long queues from the traffic lights and sometimes beyond Nags Head pub. Parked cars narrow this area considerably and as residents have little choice but to park here, added vehicles to proposed housing will escalate the issue. 85 houses could result in between 85-170 extra vehicles per day if homeowners have between 1 and 2 cars per property. Preston was not built in a way that copes with so many developments.
