Respondent: Dr Mike Merrick

Representation Summary:

This site should not be considered for development. It would extend the village envelope of Forncett End in an entirely inappropriate direction and would be on a scale that far exceeds the capacity of the village services. Access from GNLP0089 would have to be on to Common Road and thereby on to the B1113 at the crossroads in Forncett End. This is completely inappropriate due to the single track nature of Common Road and the dangerously poor visibility at the crossroads, flanked by Austhorpe House Nursing Home on one side and The Jolly Farmers pub on the other.

This site should not be considered for development. It would extend the village envelope of Forncett End in an entirely inappropriate direction and would be on a scale that far exceeds the capacity of the services within the community. (See our response to Qu. 24 in which we argue that neither Tacolneston nor Forncett has the necessary services to be classed as Service Villages).
Access from GNLP0089 would have to be on to Common Road and thereby on to the Norwich Road (B1113) at the crossroads in Forncett End. This is completely inappropriate due to the single track nature of Common Road and the dangerously poor visibility at the crossroads, flanked as it is by Austhorpe House Nursing Home on one side and The Jolly Farmers pub on the other.
