Comment:Being a resident I strongly oppose the building of the C2 care home ...the amount of traffic currently is totally unacceptable for such a small residential no through road...I for one am tired of living my life around school start /finish times having to make sure we avoid these times before we go out or return home avoiding 8:30 am or 3:15pm as at this time it is extremely busy with cars and pedestrians it is impossible to do a 3 point turn to get into my drive at these times and I fear for the safety of the children  I have witnessed a near miss once a accident waiting to happen. !! also I arrange my drs /hospital appointments avoiding these times when ever possible...staff from the school , clients from the hairdressers and workers from the factories on New Line Road also park on the road...I personally have had the experience of sitting in an ambulance waiting to go to A&E @ Kings Mill around 8:30am but unable to so as the ambulance was unable to turn around and drive off Orchard Rd as it was grid locked with cars and people we had to wait which only added to an already very scary  situation ...with regard to noise and disturbance a care home would only add to our dilemma with change of shifts early morning and late at night and more cars for staff and other visitors and professionals and what of the residents needs what will their needs be ? ...consideration must also be given to loss of privacy of the surrounding properties...I also have concern for the local wildlife and the habitats for birds (some very exceptional birds I have seen visiting around us from the local quarries) insects flowers plants and other wildlife all need to be protected and supported in our modern-day environment...Orchard Rd has always been a quite residential street with properties that are in a conservation area which must be protected...please consider all my valid points ...thank you.
