There are a number of complex issues around this planning application, which is for 433 houses and a new road between Lower Earley Way and King Street Lane, plus a primary school.  The top 5 that I am looking into are:

1   impact of the proposed new road on traffic in Winnersh – and on existing residents living near it

2  design of the new road, including pedestrian and cycle links, and all the junctions

3  proof  the flood mitigation is going to work and not make anything worse (whilst remembering that curing existing problems is outside the scope of the application)

4 evidence the council is going to build its half of the relief road

5 what the new school will be like and how it is being paid for

From that list you might suppose there is a certain assumption in there that the application will be approved.   Actually, it’s more that I think it’s sensible to work at getting what I can out of the situation for Winnersh, in case it does go through, whilst still continuing to fight it.
