Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 13338

Received: 27/02/2018

Respondent: Mr Terry Norton

Representation Summary:

Site GNLP0288. The information provided is incorrect, there is no "current" approval for ANY dwellings on this site.
It has been proven repeatedly that no access, of any Type, can be achieved to this site without 3rd. party land.
No access to this site can be achieved without turning a "BLIND EYE" to TREE TOPS gates.
The increased volume of traffic along Woodbastwick Road increases the DANGERS associated with any access at this location.
BDC have stated "any NEW applications in Blofield/ Brundall will be objected too by both BDC & Highways as the Cucumber Lane Roundabout is at CAPACITY".

Site GNLP0288= I suggest that the information given is incorrect, this site does NOT have OP for 24 dwellings. Application 20131655 expired in Dec. 2016, prior to the publication of this document, therefore to show accuracy & fairness this should be corrected. Accordingly this site should not be "coloured" as a site indicating "Commitments".
Applications for this site have only ever been for ACCESS,with the number of dwellings being indicative and therefore of no consequence. The 2013 application was refused outright by Highways & BDC as being considered "JUST TOO DANGEROUS" contravening both Highways & BDC policies & being adjacent to the busy access of the Community Centre. It has been demonstrated, repeatedly, that no access can be achieved by any Type of access without 3rd party land, even to the point of being demonstrated at an appeal.
Should this site be put forward again, now 5 years after the original application, it is physically apparent that the traffic count along Woodbastwick Road has increased significantly as a result of overdevelopment in both Blofield & Blofield Heath since the "Site Allocation DPD 2016". Because of this considerable increase in volume of traffic along Woodbastwick Road, to decrease the width of this road would now be an added danger and this proposal should be recmoved. Also Highways have repeatedly overlooked the dangers caused by the GATES to Tree Tops. We would emphasise that NCC Highways & BDC reasons for REFUSAL in 2013 are even more stringent today, especially in relation to PUBLIC SAFETY.
A final reason for my objection:- BDC have confirmed that any NEW applications in the Blofield/ Brundall areas would be objected too by both BDC & Highways, as the Cucumber Lane Roundabout is at CAPACITY, Blofield Heath falls within this locality.
