This site will increase traffic on already congested neighbouring roads. Traffic will affect Beech Avenue, The Street, Ringland Road, Taverham Road and Sandy Lane. The Street is a 20mph narrow road, with a variety of properties close to the road, with no footpath for pedestrians to exit their properties. An increase in traffic travelling to the schools and amenities located around Beech Avenue, Nightingale Drive, Sandy Lane and Taverham Road create a rat run around this area which cannot sustain an increase in traffic.

An increase of residents (statistical average will equate to 2 Adults 1 child per property) will put an increased demand on services, such as the schools and doctors. A site of 50 houses will undoubtedly bring 100 or more cars, providing 200 or more journeys per day on these roads. These roads have not been built to take this volume of traffic.

Beech Avenue and The Street are dangerous, many drivers are currently speeding on roads which make up school runs, where little or no footpaths are present.

Regardless of an 'improved' traffic system, e.g. a roundabout or traffic lights on Beech Avenue, this will not alleviate the volume of traffic.

This proposed site is opposite Taverham Old Hall, a Grade II listed building and ancient woodland. Development in this area will destroy an area of natural beauty.
