The transport consultants report commissioned by the residents of Langley Vale was submitted to Epsom & Ewell Borough Council today. It finds that the applicant’s transport assessment is seriously flawed. It significantly misinterprets and presents an inaccurate position on the transport impact of the proposed development.
The review finds that the proposed development is unsustainable, unsafe and non-compliant with current planning and transport policies. The site’s poor accessibility , flawed access design, underestimated traffic impacts and inadequate mitigation measures all point to a development that fails to meet the standards required for approval for a significant development.
The review recommends that Epsom & Ewell Borough Council object to the application on transport grounds, citing the unsustainable nature of the site, highway safety concerns and lack of effective mitigation.
