FIX E DENSITY AND HEIGHT

Problem with Fix E: the diagram shows that the highest density of dwellings is clustered around the primary street. This choice appears to maximise the exposure of people to road danger, pollution and noise. We oppose this arrangement of primary street and dwellings.

The following comments are in regard to Fix E.

Problem: the diagram shows that the highest density of dwellings is clustered around the primary street. This choice appears to maximise the exposure of people to road danger, pollution and noise. We oppose this arrangement of primary street and dwellings.

Solution: the primary street should be routed to the north, away from where people are living, and the areas of highest density should be served by quiet streets with few cars that are pleasant for walking and cycling. Any car parking facilities (apart from blue badge spaces) should be kept near the relocated primary street, away from dwellings, in order to avoid excessive motor traffic on residential streets where children are playing.
