Croft Road Planning Application – S/OUT/14/0859

Taylor Wimpey has applied for planning permission to build 62 dwellings at Croft Road.  I have emailed the planning department at Swindon Borough Council to object to this proposal, as it is not in the local plan.

Taylor Wimpey has applied for planning permission to build 62 dwellings at Croft Road.  I have emailed the planning department at Swindon Borough Council to object to this proposal, as it is not in the local plan and I think this land should act as a buffer between the existing houses on Croft Road and East Wichel.  It is a speculative proposal.  I also share the concerns of a number of residents who have already raised concerns including traffic, pollution, flooding and infrastructure.

I would urge as many people as possible to comment by going to: http://pa.swindon.gov.uk/publicaccess/, quoting reference number S/OUT/14/0859.  All comments must be received in writing by Monday 23 June.  I look forward to working with residents to try to prevent this development.
