Land North of 29 Station Rd Tydd Gote Proposed holiday
lodges and yoga building (Amendments) Council
has concerns over pedestrian access to the site, there is no separate access
shown so pedestrians will be sharing the narrow road with vehicles. With
the new information re yoga centre this site could in theory have as many as
64 vehicles in and out per day, this would have a major detrimental Impact on
the village and neighbouring residents. They would all be using Station Road
which has a history of accidents and a fatality as well as adding to the
dangerous junction of Station Rd and the A1101. It
is also obvious that heavier vehicles for maintenance and supplies would
contribute detrimental to the local amenity. H21-0226-24
