Received: 22/03/2018

Respondent: Wramplingham Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Increased traffic with any development will be detrimental to the Parish which is predominantly served by rural narrow roads. There is no safe cycling route or footpath between the site and the main village centre. There are poor public transport links which will increase the use of cars and commuting. Barford sewage system is already at capacity as has been regularly demonstrated by sewage egress into residents gardens.

Barford & Wramplingham Parish Council held two public meetings which were both very well attended with over 40 residents attending each meeting. The Parish Council created a Parish Plan in 2010 and the views of the residents within this are still valid and should be considered. Further concerns raised are as follows:
* Traffic - increased traffic with any development will be detrimental to the Parish which is predominantly served by narrow rural roads. There is no safe cycling route between the site and the main village centre.
* Pedestrian access - there are very limited footpaths in the Parish and no footpath from the site to the main village centre
* There are a lack of facilities within the village and poor public transport links. This will increase the use of cars and commuting which will affect many other areas as well as our parish.
* Flooding - Barford sewage system is already at capacity as has been regularly demonstrated by sewage egress into residents gardens.
