Ridgeons, Cromwell Road: Supplementary Planning Document

Representation ID: 30952

Received: 07/03/2016

Respondent: Dr Jake Grimmett

Representation Summary:

I am a resident of Cavendish Road, living 25m from where the Ridgeons site border. I am greatly concerned that insufficient parking spaces will be provided on the proposed development. The effect of this will be that people living in the new development will park on Cavendish road, prompting the Council to introduce a residents parking scheme on neighbouring roads.

I am very much against residence parking schemes, they will add a further £52 cost per year to owning a car, and are a form of stealth taxation.

Dear Sir / Madam,

With regard to the Cromwell Road / Ridgeons development site, I would like to make the following comments:

I would also like to add my support for the addition of a cycle / pedestrian bridge or underpass across the railway. This would greatly increase the cohesion between Romsey and Petersfield.

many thanks

Jake Grimmett
