Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 14994

Received: 21/03/2018

Respondent: Mrs Gillian Burwood

Representation Summary:

As our property and garden run parallel to the proposed site we have concerns about flooding as it is higher than our land and thought it was a flood plain.On the same point privacy with the site being higher.
Briar lane not suitable for the volume of traffic and Yarmouth Road also unsuitable with dangerous bends and speed of vehicles.
Will services be able to cope particularly sewage and phone lines?
We agree with the views of Hales and Heckingham Parish Council and strongly object to the proposed site.

Our house and garden run parallel to the GNLP0308 proposed site.
The proposed site is higher than our land particularly at the property end and we would be very concerned about flooding as we were of a view that the field was a flood plain. We would also be concerned about privacy with the site being higher.
We moved here as we wanted a peaceful semi rural location to raise our children, with "fresh air", country views and to enjoy watching wildlife in our garden, all this would disappear.
There is no way Briar Lane could cope with or be suitable for the extra volume of traffic and Yarmouth Road is already a heavily used road with the proposed site opening onto a very dangerous bend.
There have already been problems with lack of phone lines with the old Hales Hospital site and Open Reach seem to be out weekly trying to cope with the amount of houses currently in Hales,let alone adding more.
We know there were concerns about the sewage system coping with the extra sewage from the Hospital site -How will it manage with more from approx.70 households?
We agree with the views of The Hales and Heckingham Parish Council and strongly object the above proposal.
