Dear Sirs,
.
Re- Greater Norwich Local Plan -Site 0396

I wish to object to the proposals put forward for consideration in connection with the GNLP building development, and list below my objections.

1. Newgate is a private road and not maintained by the Council. It is maintained by the residents of Newgate.
2. The properties in Newgate front onto the road. There are no pathways or pavements. Pedestrians have to walk in the road.
3. There is no street lighting in Newgate, save one light (sometimes) on a sharp 90degree bend.
4. There is often traffic congestion if vehicles are parked on the roadway.
5. There is a funeral business in Newgate and often vehicles are parked on the roadway and these vehicles together with visitors mean only single file car traffic is possible.
6. It is a dangerous pull out of Newgate into Mill Road and the increased traffic would become even more of a safety issue The village shop is on this corner and there are parked cars whether you turn right or left.
7. There are concerns of the volume of water 25 houses, roadways, drives and impermeable surfaces would add to the present surface water drainage system.
8. There are properties built in Newgate direct on to the road therefore there is no possibility to widen the roadway or introduce a footpath.
9. Any further increase in traffic volume negotiating the blind 90degree bend in Newgate, an un adopted highway, would increase the danger to pedestrians in particular, who find this difficult as there is no pathway and become an even greater safety issue to all that use it.

Yours faithfully,

Lionel, Maureen & Tim Scruton
