• The giant incinerator plant destined for the Highways Department site on the corner of Lodge Lane and the B1113. The building itself based on similar structures elsewhere is roughly the same height as 7 double deck London buses. 
• A new warehouse development and hotel opposite site 1 on Blackacre Hill. Developer Braceforce Lrd has already discussed the scheme in outline but has held back pending the outcome of the Snoasis Public Inquiry. 
• A new recycling centre for Bolton’s alongside their truckstop cafe off Addison Way. There is no indication of what would happen to the existing Bolton’s site in Station Road. 
• The 400 plus Persimmon housing estate almost just yards from the proposed incinerator - not forgetting of course the plan to build a new primary school in the middle of the estate. 
• The Snoasis complex although the Government has yet to give its decision that is causing concern in some quarters - specially among those who were convinced that it would simply go through on the nod. 
• The possibility of a new railway station to serve Snoasis.

All of the above will bring increased traffic without the benefit of any major road improvements in the immediate area even though we already know how congested the local network is.

As one local resident told the Press this week “It seems that Gt. Blakenham is fast becoming the waste dump for the entire County. At this rate the whole area will soon become a vast building site with construction traffic fighting to get access to the various sites."
