Full text:

Nowhere in your proposals raises the concerns over people and physical infrastructure. Where are the plans for expanded schools and school places, the impact on health services to be supplied by the local GP Surgery (The Taverham Parnership), shops, traffic and parking, all of which are currently under great pressure? I have lived in The Street, Taverham since 2008. Since that time there has been a steady increase in traffic volumes, especially during the rush hour and school runs. This has further increased since the NDR was opened and The Street has become a rat run for the A47. This development will increase pressure on both services and traffic flow. There is also a problem of speeding along Ringland Road and The Street, all a 20mph zone, and the lack of a pathway along this section is a danger to residents and other walkers. My local MP, Keith Simpson, is not interested in this problem and the police refuse to check traffic speed as it presents a danger to their officers. The building of such a large number of houses without due consideration to other associated factors need careful consideration throughout the planning process. There is little evidence of such consideration in the plans you provide.
