Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 13906

Received: 13/03/2018

Respondent: Mr Michael Manley

Representation Summary:

Site GNLP0521 considered unsuitable for a variety of reasons including inadequate infrastructure in sewerage, surface water drainage, poor highway facilities and infrequent public transport. Strumpshaw has little employment and no school or shops. Doctors surgery struggling to cope. If the global birth rate continues at the same rate there will be inadequate agricultural land for food production to satisfy demand. Proposals will erode the visual separation from adjacent villages and therefore the individuality and identity of each village. Development of proposed sites will only further aggrevate the growing problem of flooding in certain locations

Dear sirs

I wish to register my comments on the GNLP and more specifically to the proposals relating to Strumpshaw.

I refer specifically to the developments identified on plan numbers GLNP
0090, GLNP0521 Mill
Road, GNLP0215 Long Lane

I consider that these locations are unsuitable for the following reasons.

1. Inadequate infrastructure in sewerage, surface water drainage (especially in the light of global warming phenomina).

2. Poor highways facilities, the roads are of inadequate width for increased traffic and there are inonadequate and mostly no pedestrian pavements in these locations.

3. Infrequent public transportn namely an hourly bus service which ceases early evening.

4. Strumpshaw has very little and indeed diminishing employment.

5. Strumpshaw has no school or shops.

6. The local doctors surgery serving this area in Brundal is already struggling to cope under pressure of new developments and finding it is unable to recruit adequate qualified staff.

7. Over the next 50 years scientifically backed date indicates that if the global birth rate continues at the same rate there will be inadequate agricultural land for food production to satisfy demand.

8. These proposals will erode the visual separation from the adlacent villages and therefore the individuality and identity of each village.

Strumpshaw already suffers from an increase over the years of minor areas of flooding in certain locations partly due increased events of heavy storms and the added recent developments in Lingwood, if the proposed sites are developed this will only serve to further aggravate an already growing problem

For the above reasons I can see little justification for developing these locations.

Yours Sincerely

M.F.Manley
