Not necessarily, quite a number of those who dropped off by car at Rubadubs didn't drive to work, just to drop off and pick up.

The numbers wouldn't be huge with 30 potential drivers (6 non-resident staff and up to 24 parents) so hopefully it isn't a big issue. However, a neighbour of mine used to run a smallish business unofficially from his house and it did have an impact on our street. The increase in moving traffic wasn't really an issue but there was an increase in noise from visitors which didn't fit the normal residential pattern. The main issue was blocking of people's drives - 10 minutes never seems like a lot for the person who parked over your drive but is a long time if you haven't built it in to you journey plan and you want to get out.

As I say, I'm vaguely supportive of this application in that FH needs more childcare provision but it's not in my back yard so I dont have to think too hard about the consequences. As this forum has highlighted in the past, people naturally react to change so it isn't surprising people have objected. Whether or not those objections have any validity in planning terms is another matter.
