Proposal GNLP0531

I strongly object to this proposal.

My main concerns are

1. Situation in relation to GNLP

Rockland St Mary is situated on the edge of the Norwich Policy Area.
The village suffers from poor roads many of which are narrow, have a series of blind corners and danger spots with few pavements.

The roads are prone to flood, a matter that has worsened in recent winters as the pattern of rainfall has become more torrential.

Further, Rockland is not adjacent to major road, rail or air arteries. The proposed policy suggests an aim to enhance the economic viability around those arteries.

I do not believe this will be achieved by the development of GNLP0531



2. Policy objectives of GNLP

The GNLP describes that one of 6 key objectives will be

Environment, the protection and enhancement of the built and natural environment, making the best use of natural resources, mitigating against and adopting to climate change.

a. GNLP0531 overlooks a SSSI, is adjacent to European and International Designated Wildlife sites and will be in close proximity to a County Wildlife site on Hellington Low Common. I feel strongly that the development will impact detrimentally on the above.

A further key objective identifies communities.

b. I do not believe GNLP0531 will enhance the village community. It will distort and put unreasonable pressure on people, services and the environment
