Respondent: Mrs Nicola Herring

Representation Summary:

The roads are already too busy, the exits onto the A146 would become chaotic during rush hours and potentially cause people to take unnecessary risks.

This is outside the development boundary and therefore should not be considered. The roads in Chedgrave are already getting too busy for a village of this size. On a normal morning between 7-8am, you can be waiting to get out onto the A146 for up to 15 minutes (on average, 5-7 minutes but this increases the closer to 8am you get). This is the same for the George Lane junction in Loddon. The junctions from the industrial estate road and High Bungay Road are too dangerous to attempt during rush hour, due to lack of visibility, so we already get a lot of the traffic from Loddon and that has significantly worsened since the building of the new estates near the industrial estate, on High Bungay Road and George Lane, not to mention all the new estates in Beccles, which also use the A146 in the mornings. There is also a huge problem with speeding, particularly on Norwich Road. The Parish Council have tried to get the 30mph limit moved to encompass the entrance to Big Back Lane but it has been refused, therefore, people will be able to drive passed some of the suggested sites at up to 60mph, this would not be safe for pedestrians, particularly children.
