Respondent: Mr David Dunn

Representation Summary:

My objection is therefore based on the lack of intrastructure and the inability of the road network to cope with any additional traffic. Sadly I don't think it will be too long before there is a serious accident on or around the Hackford Road and adding to the traffic would in my opinion increase the chances of this.

Living in a village is a choice of lifestyle. In other words people choose not to live in an area which is over developed. For high density housing the small market towns in Norfolk are better suited. In Wicklewood there is a Primary School, a church and a pub. The Primary school is already struggling with the intake and the significant parking on the road at drop off and collection is already dangerous for both pedestrians and road users. The internal roads around the village are largely single file traffic with farm machinery constantly on the road. The village certainly doesn't have the infrastructure to cope with any significant housing development. I don't have an issue for a handful (eg 6) new houses to add to the 18 homes or so which have been built/being built on the High Street, but for large developments there are clearly better served places in South Norfolk.
