SO Satnam has reared its ugly head once again looking to develop Peel Hall (Warrington Guardian, July 27).

I presume they have seen the council’s Local Plan dated July 2017 and will be rubbing their hands with joy when they read that the council considers Peel Hall development to be ‘suitable, available and achievable’.

Is this the same council which refused the last planning requisition to develop the site?

If so, what changed their minds?

The net developable area is 44.5 hectares and in this area 1,200 homes, shops, restaurants, public house, medical centre and an industrial estate are proposed to be built.

The big problem with Satnam’s plan is that no consideration has been given to how access is to be achieved, because the increase in traffic will be enormous.

1,200 houses will mean some 1800 extra cars.

Shops, restaurants and public house will involve traffic from outside Peel Hall using their facilities.

With medical facilities being stretched it is inevitable that people other than Peel Hall residents will be using the medical centre.

These, together with staff, will increase traffic on the site.

The industrial estate will involve cars, vans and, quite possibly, heavy goods vehicles.

How does Satnam expect access and egress to the site to be achieved with the current inadequate road system?

The increase in noise and, almost inevitably, crime is not something that I and many other residents will look forward to.

If carried out, this development will stretch from Fearnhead to Winwick with very little green area other than house gardens – if there is room for gardens.

This is not a case of Nimbyism, it is common sense in wanting to keep one of the few open, green areas in Warrington available for public use and to help the environment. Or does the council think that continued expansion will help it to apply for city status again?

Satnam, of course, will build, take its money and disappear back to Cheltenham without having to put up with any of the problems.
