The site is outside the development boundary.
Most of the site slopes towards the flood plain.
I already have concerns over the speed and volume of traffic leaving and
approaching the village through this area.
An increase in car ownership arising from further development would increase risk.
The road is not suitable and was constructed many years ago with a lot less traffic, vehicles have grown in size (HGVs now 2.6m wide 18+M long, Busses 12m long and farm machinery taking the two thirds or more of the road)and volume. It is noticeable that the roadside verges are being pushed back by large vehicles exposing the road edge causing pot holes and damage. We have seen an increase in vehicles from the Loddon area who use this route to avoid the now congested A146. The road is on a recognised cycle route which is in regular use. We have seen an increase in Van deliveries from home delivery and supermarket deliveries.
We are in a rural farming community.
Some of the site is within 50 -100 metres of the Broads Authority Boundary, some just 20 metres away, separated by the narrow busy road. The Broads area is a flood plain and a site of special scientific interest. The Broads area is a designated and strictly controlled conservation area and this large-scale site would directly border it.
My conclusion is that this is not a viable site for development.
