Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 15029

Received: 21/03/2018

Respondent: Mr Les Gray

Representation Summary:

This site should not be taken forward. The access is unacceptable, with little / no prospects of making it wider/safer. The amount of traffic such a proposal would generate, will create major problems leading onto the Fakenham Road, which is already heavily congested especially at peak times. Drayton already has major flooding problems (especially being in a valley) and this proposed development (even with on-site and/or off-site attenuation), will create far more flooding problems for the village. The site is within an area of protected land, not least for its wildlife and special species and must be retained for such.
