I am a resident of [ ]. The development is certain to cause severe disruption, noise and nuisance to the residents of All Saints Close, which will become enclosed on all sides by the development and it's access routes. The location of heavy plant and power substations in close proximity to All Saints Close is unacceptable, both for noise and pollution from the sub station chimneys. The developer should show how pollution from the chimneys affect residents in All Saints Close. The location of visitors centre and training facility next to All Saints Close will tower over residents property and cause severe disruption. Public access on Pilgrims Road will cause severe disruption and nuisance to the residents of All Saints Close, with visitors from Swanscombe station passing through their entrance to the pubic highway. Pilgrims Road itself is dangerous for public use and for any persons below the cliff drop. The developer should consider public access from the rear of Swanscombe station platform, joining up with the public access from Ebbsfleet station. Pilgrims Road should be considered for local residents from Swanscombe only. The developer has severely underestimated the potential number of visitors who will arrive at Swanscombe Station. This station is not suitable for a high number of visitors. All Saints Close will be severely disrupted by cars using it as a pick up point for the Pilgrims Way public entrance. Parking will cause a nuisance with the visitors centre and training facilities located on Galley Hill. The residents of All Saints Close will become entrapped. With a train station on one side, and the development covering all other sides. The developers plans should be revised to more considerate to All Saints Close residents. Furthermore, the develop should investigate noise, nuisance and disruption to All Saints Close which is not mentioned in the nuisance or noise reports despite being surrounded on all sides as if part of the development itself.
