I have raised my comments as objections as I feel that Tesco have not learnt the lessons from their previous two applications for this site and have virtually just reiterated some of the errors made in the first two applications.
Further drawings and amendments have been submitted by Tesco but I still feel that these do not compensate for some of the issues that I an other residents still have over this proposed development.
The additional papers can be viewed @ http://idox.bathnes.gov.uk/WAM/showCaseFile.do?appNumber=12/01999/EFUL
my comments
This application is no different to previous ones in many aspects and ill only concentrate on areas that I have not previously covered.
1) The over domination of traffic on a junction on Brook Rd is overbearing and will not be able to cope with the release of cars from the underground car park.
2) The affects on pollution and increased amount of traffic on the Lower Bristol Road and at Brook Road have not been resolved.
3) The over dominance of the supermarket on this site is against council polices and exceeds the available shopping needs requirements.
4) No work has been carried out to accurately asses the affects that the store would have on the neighbouring Moorland Road.
5) The Health & Safety executive have ruled out development on this site whilst the gas tower remains.
6) There seems to be little work carried out to mitigate the pigeon population that would nest on the roofs.
