We the undersigned object to the proposal to develop the Nescot Animal Husbandry Site, located at Reigate Road and Ewell Bypass roundabout, into 94 Family Houses and 120 Care Home places for the purposes of funding the current planning application 13/00086/FUL for the following reasons:
· Adverse impact on highway safety (contradiction of MV8 Local Plan and CS16 Core Strategy)
· Increase the level of congestion already recognised as a significant challenge in Surreys Congestion Report 2013, e.g. this will negatively impact other recognised bottlenecks namely A24 Ewell ByPass andB284 Chessington Road Epsom & Ewell
· Schools, hospitals, doctors and other social facilities are currently challenged to provide resources to the community let alone supporting the needs of this large development
· Epsom & Ewell current district-wide Local Plan highlights that roads in Epsom & Ewell carry traffic flows twice the national average. The movement study identified the worst affected highways as the Ewell Bypass, A240 Reigate Road and Chessington Road
· Increase the risk of pedestrian accidents, including the risk to school children
· Public transport will be less reliable due to congestion and contradictory to Surrey Travel SMART programme
· Negative impact upon air quality in the area which is already designated as an Air Quality Management Area (“AQMA”) in Ewell Village. This is currently monitored by Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (“DEFRA”)
· This significant urbanisation of the area will detract from the rural village feel of Ewell
· The proposal is contrary to Epsom & Ewell District-wide Local Planning, which states that any development of the land must be on an exceptional basis

The momentum is undeniable now. Local residents are clearly fed up with these plans.

over development in already densley populated area. high traffic volumes already, no traffic screening taken place. All schools in area are already oversubscribed. Local hospitals under threat when extra people moving into area.
As a resident living in an adjacent road I ojcet to the scale and nature of the proposals. Traffic is a particular concern as locally it is at almost unbearable levels already. Such a development would also be detremental to the balance of development , damaging the rural feel of the area.
This development is wholly inappropriate at a very busy roundabout and will obviously add considerably to the severe congestion which already occurs. At such a place, wherever the entrance or exits my be placed it can only be dangerous and could lead to many accidents.
The impact on local roads will be severe, in particular the A240 Reigate Road will regularly become gridlocked back to the roundabout with the Ewell by-pass and beyond. Other local infrastructure will also struggle to cope with such a large number of new dwellings and people.
This is totally disgraceful idea. What about the students who are planning in taking the Animal Management Course!!!! Reconsider for the sake of the animals and students. This site is totally needed
Strongly object

traffic congestion is already bad - particularly as this road is the main cut through when the m25 is closed. we also cant cope with the lack of medical and schooling already needed to meets local needs.
