Councillor Mrs D Hollebon sought and was provided with clarification on priority junction improvements on Obrey Way in Bishop’s Stortford and referred to the severe congestion at Whittington Way.  The Officer undertook to write to the Member with further information. 

The Chairman reminded Members that transport issues would need to be addressed through more detailed design work in consultation with Hertfordshire County Council and other consultees.  She stated she was cognisant of the Member’s concerns.

Councillor J Wyllie referred to the “critical” need for primary and secondary education provision as part of the proposed Bishop’s Stortford South development, and his concerns that current flight paths and the expansion of Stansted Airport could have health, noise and air pollution implications to children.  He reiterated his concerns about development in this location.

Councillor G Jones questioned the level of priority given to certain infrastructure schemes within the document.  The Head of Planning and Building Control explained that this was Version 1 of a ‘live’ document which would be refined prior to submission of the District Plan in March 2017.
