The Pains Hill roundabout will be adversely impacted by the proposal to cite the entrance to the access road for the three properties. The entrance is cited too close to the roundabout and insufficient warning will be given to a vehicle going down the slip road that vehicles may be emerging at a considerably slower speed than people drive on the slip road. Alternatively, that vehicles will need to break swiftly to enter the access road at a point where many vehicles will be accelerating to join the faster A3. The security of both Pains Hill Park and Pains Hill residents will be affected. Security of Pains Hill residents afforded by electronic gates will be nullified by access to the estate from the new access road coming off the slip road. Not only might the security of the Park be affected but it could undermine the economy of the Park by people avoiding the entrance fees. The proposed bridge across the A3, in 2018, which was put forward as the favoured of the 13 proposals, had a significantly lower impact on the Pains Hill community. It was communicated as the best approach to the new 3 property access road until we were consulted this year regarding the latest scheme to acquire our neighbour's field and come much closer to our 12 properties with the attendant consequences relating to health, noise, security, economics and safety.
