Given the planning applications for new housing off Quernmore Road (from
Bellway Homes for 151 homes) and Grab Lane (Story Homes for 167 homes),
Bulk ward councillors are hosting an online meeting to discuss how Bulk
ward residents might want to respond to the applications.

Since Atkins conducted traffic modelling in 2006, no new work has been
done to assess the predicted and actual impact of the additional traffic
on Quernmore Road and routes feeding from it. Since 2006 (though
completions didn't start until late 2013) around 590 new homes have been
built off Quernmore Rd, against the 440 originally envisaged in the plan
that Atkins was modelling for.

There is also the potential of increased flood risk on the road at the
junction of Grab Lane and Quernmore Road; and to properties on Guidem
Park. This is in addition to heightened concern of increased flood risk
from residents downstream along Burrow Beck in John O' Gaunt and
Scotforth East wards.

Come along to find out more about the plans and how to respond.
