Full text:

I am dismayed that a site of this size could be considered given the outdated roadway infrastructure. The additional traffic generated would undoubtedly further stress the already over used roads. The additional traffic would have to route through town when travelling to Norwich and it is clear to see that improvements are needed in the highway system before such a development can proceed.

There will also be a generation of increased traffic noise effecting residents of Dereham Road Reepha.

If the town was bypassed then this development would not be a problem, however without such improvement it will reduce the quality of life for the existing residents considerably..

Whether travelling through town or to Bawdeswell the B1145 is not well equipped for today's traffic. Junctions at Townsend Corner, and church Street are very narrow and frequent traffic stand offs occur when HGVs and coaches get stuck. An increas in volume will only exacerbate the present poor situation.

Furthermore the loss of part of Casu Park is a definite loss the natural habitat for plant and wildlife species and the visual outlook for residents of Smugglers Lane with be severely impacted.

I object strongly to the proposal.
