Representation Summary:

This development would significantly increase traffic along Beech Avenue and Ringland Road, which are already considered ratruns and are unable to sustain the volume of traffic currently experienced, particularly next to the school.It is only a matter of time before there is a fatal accident on this stretch of road. There have been numerous accidents where cars have left the road on the 's' bend of the street and crashed into garden fences, it's just luck that to date no one has been injured. Children could not walk to school on ringland road the street safely and without parental guidance.

This development would significantly increase traffic along Beech Avenue and Ringland Road, which are already considered ratruns and are unable to sustain the volume of traffic currently experienced, particularly next to the school. Would also impact substantially on the Beech Ave/Fakenham Rd junction which is already dangerous, also more traffic will be funneled along The Street, Nightingale Drive and Sandy Lane (residential roads). There would additionally be further strain on the existing amenities (particularly the Doctors Surgery and Dentist) which are already struggling. Until the NDR is completed through to the A47, this development should not be considered. We walk our dog up and down the street Taverham and because of the amount of traffic at the moment and with no pavements we have to constantly stop and jump into the hedgerows to avoid collisions. It is only a matter of time before there is a fatal accident on this stretch of road. There have been numerous accidents where cars have left the road on the 's' bend of the street and crashed into garden fences, it's just luck that to date no one has been injured. There is no way children could walk to school on ringland road the street safely and without parental guidance.
