After considering the information contained in the documentation, the committee decided that the matter of most likely concern to Helmdon residents was associated with increased traffic using the Radstone Road from the site towards the
B4525. It was resolved to comment about the current state of repair of the road and to state that resurfacing, widening and better road marking is essential for the expected increase in traffic generated by this development.
The committee resolved to support the application but to record their concerns about the unsuitability of the Radstone Road to accept an increase in traffic volume and also to suggest that the primary school and community centre included in the subject development should be made operational before too many more houses are constructed to minimise school and social traffic from the development
7 Councillor questions
