As with the recent application for Showfields, our New Queen Street Surgery, commented..
4.1 The existing GP practices do not have capacity to accommodate the
additional growth resulting from the proposed development.
The development would generate approximately 139 residents and
subsequently increased the demand and healthcare pressures upon the
existing services..
4.2 The primary healthcare services directly impacted by the proposed
development and the current capacity position.
I am no planning expert and have had only very basic training on planning law, however, District Councillors along with Planning Oficers at FDC are in a much better position in respect of ‘Planning Policy’.
My question and point is that after the very disappointing turn around by some Councillors at the FDC Planning meeting re-Showfields to accept the application.
Why is little or no weight given to our Medical Infrastructure (NQS and Jenner Health)
applied. With major developments along Eastrea Road will add even more ‘stress’ to our already overloaded medical facilities.
Surely looking at the below criteria this is a serious loss of amenities to local residents.
From FDC’s Planning Portal…

and

Drybread Road already a ‘rat run’ – Decoy Lake Road, is single carriage way and will become a ‘rat run’ – none of this is material planning policy for objecting…..
Good afternoon,
