My concerns with the scheme are mainly associated with the proposed works within West View Morpeth and the detrimental impact they will have. These proposals introduce extensive works within West View and introduce dangers within a residential area during the construction phase of the works but more importantly will introduce dangers not presently within the street and within the hospital grounds access roads, when the proposed works are completed. These dangers will be permanent feature thereafter. The proposals do not adhere to the Construction Design and Management Regulations. If the regulations had been followed then this design would not have been put forward. I find it concerning that a scheme presented on behalf of a government agency, appears not to confirm with government regulations. There will be an increased risk of flooding. Natural sound reducing landscaping will be removed introducing more noise within the street. This will also introduce more light pollution There are safer alternative routes which are shorter and eliminate the danger from West View and can be constructed with very limited. Risk to the public The street will no longer be a cul-de-Sac reducing the streets ability to meet government safer by design standards. The street will no longer be a safe area for children to play. The design brings more traffic in to the street but also significant large agricultural vehicles will use the street for access to fields North of West View at currently they have never had access to the fields from West View. The Design will require the relocation of gas houses (not required with other designs)
