Hundreds of planned homes could make traffic worse
Gosport councillors have told the region’s development
agency that they want new employment – not housing – on
the former airfield at Daedalus site in Lee-on-the-Solent.
The South East England Development Agency has published
plans for up to 475 new homes on the site – 275 more than the
maximum number allocated for the area by the local council. But
Councillors echoed local concerns that too many new homes could
increase traffic on Gosport’s congested roads.
Councillors are also worried that proposals for new stores could kill off shops on Lee’s popular High
Street.
Lib Dem councillor Peter Chegwyn said: 'Lee has survived remarkably well and if you put a lot of
retail on this site – retail which is the same as that which is already in Lee and within walking
distance – it could have a devastating effect which should be avoided at all costs.'
