RESIDENTS fear a road near Romsey could become more dangerous if plans to build five houses near Romsey are given the green light by planning chiefs next week. An application was submitted to Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) to construct a mix of three and four-bedroom homes in East View, Saunders Lane, Awbridge. The plans, submitted by Doswell Projects Ltd, could see the houses feature 16 car parking spaces if approved at TVBC s Southern Area Planning Committee on Tuesday (April 6). However, the proposals have been met with concern from some residents over increased congestion and drainage issues. Clare Rackham, who lives in Saunders Lane, fears the house will bring more traffic to the road, which could make it increasingly unsafe for children to walk to the school bus stop.
