On Saturday Nick Gibb met residents of Carlton Avenue, Rose Green, Bognor Regis who are concerned about plans to build eight houses in the land behind numbers 36 to 44 Carlton Avenue. Access to the development would be along a single track road.
Nick Gibb said:
“Residents of Carlton Avenue are understandably concerned about these plans because of the effect it would have on have on traffic levels on Carlton Avenue, which is already grid-locked twice a day as an access road to the two Rose Green primary schools. Garden in-filling with more housing can have a very damaging effect on the character of an area. I have written to the Planning Inspectorate in Bristol, whose decision it is as to whether planning permission is granted, supporting resident of Carlton Avenue and urging the Inspectorate not to allow the new development to go ahead.”
