“I highlighted the need to look at the cumulative impact on past, current and future proposals. And what traffic measures are required to address these and not just look at each in isolation.”

Councillor Logue added that she believed “that there is a need for a full traffic impact assessment carried out in the area to ensure this development moves forward as smoothly as possible”.
