Eaton Green Link Road breaches the local plan that was adopted in 2017. Local residential roads will become the main access route to Terminal 2 from the East of England. Airport traffic will pass 3 schools (Queen Elizabeth, Wigmore and Someries) I have doubts that the unregulated former Council tip will be removed safely due to its close location to homes and previous history of the Dart construction. That the plan includes installing 11 sets of traffic lights in Wigmore when there are none at the moment. That the application includes increasing car parking spaces by over 50% using green field sites and Wigmore Park, meaning more traffic. That the Dart will have no impact on reducing road traffic from the East of England. I can already regularly smell burnt aviation fuel. I am disturbed by aircraft noise both day and night. That much of Wigmore Park will be destroyed. That all of its County Wildlife Site will be destroyed. The application doesn’t intend to replace Wigmore Park with a new park fully within Luton so can’t count as Luton Open Space. I will live too far from the replacement Wigmore Park so won’t use it.
