Respondent: Mr Steven Schwitzer

Representation Summary:

I suggest that no additional access routes be created into the site, as this would not be necessary as there is already access from Newmarket Road and Cut Throat Lane.

With reference to the Abbey Stadium Opportunity Area (Policy S/OA site AS):

If it should eventually be decided that this site is to be used for housing, as well as if additional housing is provided on the site whilst retaining the existing use, then I would like to suggest that no more access routes be created into the site, ie that the existing access routes from Newmarket Road and Cut Throat Lane continue to be the only access routes to the site.

This is because this should continue to provide sufficient access to the site for both possible future uses (ie all housing and part housing/ part continued stadium use) and because it would therefore be unnecessary to provide access onto Elfeda Road, particularly as that might potentially involve the destruction of one or two 1930s houses and would involve unnecessary increased disturbance to residents of Elfleda Road and Whitehill Road.
