This development would
 | not be in keeping with the historic core of Hadleigh, which
has many important medieval buildings
|
| be detrimental to the conservation area as a whole
|
| cause the loss of an irreplaceable area of important natural
habitat and tranquillity, a valuable asset to the town
|
Pollution
| Car fumes, from slow traffic, increased traffic and cold engines starting and stopping.
Remember that we live in ‘Hadleigh in the hole’ and the fumes and chemicals
under certain weather conditions will remain in the valley. |
| Noise from heavy lorries, cars, blaring car radios, engines starting and stopping,
twenty four hour noise from the ventilation units for the cold stores. |
| Lighting of the stores surroundings, car park and entrance road throughout the hours of
darkness. (Houses between Cinch and Pound Lane will suffer from noise and light pollution
to both the back and front of their homes twenty four hours a day.) |
The site
| Tesco talks only about their use of a ‘brown field’ site, the industrial
estate, but part of the land is virgin meadowland. |
| Cars will be parking within three car lengths of the river. |
| It is said to be a town centre site, but the centre of Hadleigh’s population is not
the High Street which is on the western edge and to the north but well to the south east
of the site.. |
| The effect of noise and light pollution on the wildlife, plus |
| The inevitable shopping trolleys in the river. |
| The views from the riverside walk and all of the walks through Broom Hill and
Constitution Hill, at present looking upon the water meadow and the back of High Street
properties, which would change to a ‘bog standard’ Tesco store, car park and
constantly moving traffic, seven days a week. |
| They are not called ‘Water Meadows’ for no reason!! |
The Area
| Conflicts with the character of a conservation area |
| Damages the architectural or historic value of the listed buildings |
| Harmful to the setting of a listed building, in particular Sun Court, Grade II* |
