NEW HOMES could be built in West End as part of a new development.

The plan is to build 30 new homes in the area off of Botley Road.

The homes will be a mix of market and affordable housing and will mean the demolition of an existing house, stables and related structures.

Vehicle and Pedestrian access will be made available on Botley Road to the 2.05 hectares of land where the new houses will be.

A mix of detached, semi-detached and terraced homes will be created with sizes ranging from two to four bedrooms.

West End Parish Council have raised concerns about access to the site, adding that the pedestrian and cycle paths will be affected if the development goes ahead.

Graham Munday, a local resident, said: "I would like to object to this planning application in the strongest possible terms. If you lived in the area you would understand.

"The roads surrounding this development are already congested beyond belief.

"All the services in the area are stretched to breaking point.

"You will turn this area into a living hell."

However, Developers Foreman Homes Ltd. say "access will be widened to allow for two cars to pass each other easily while allowing for good sight lines."

They also say there will be "minimal conflict with queuing traffic further East along Botley Road."

The proposal will be discussed on Monday in a meeting of the Hedge End, West End and Botley Local Area Committee.
