The proposed development is too close to existing private residences and to retail areas located on Cromwell Road. Additionally the significant increase of HGV traffic on the A47 will cause substantial congestion and traffic travelling to Wisbech from the north will have to use the A1101 (Churchill Road)which will bring additional HGV traffic to within 50 metres of Wisbech town centre and to the North Cambs Hospital ,the Nene School ,The Isle College ,and to private dwellings which abut Churchill Road.. It is unacceptable allow a development which will increase pollution in these areas and it is unacceptable to permit a development which will significantly increase traffic volumes and pollution on the unimproved A47.Examination of old Ordnance survey maps show that the line of the A47 between Guyhirn and Wisbech ( and this section will take the HGV traffic from Peterborough and from March ) has remained unaltered for 70 years ( and probably for much longer )and it is unable to comfortably accommodate current traffic levels so the increase in HGV traffic will compound the congestion problem which presently exists.
