We object to GNLP0353; a site with 100 to 200 houses suggested, and lying north and south of Dereham Road.

First, the site needs to be viewed in the context of a small market town with limited services (e.g. public transport). Other sites of perhaps 2 to 20 houses suggested for Reepham seem more appropriate. In particular, there are special highways issues in Reepham; the B1145 crossroads and the Norwich Road past the churches being two well-known examples.

Second, with respect to the site itself, Smugglers Lane lying along the east side of the site and providing access to most of it, tapers to single lane traffic at each end. This already causes difficulties. The thought of construction traffic using the lane for developing this size of site is deeply worrying. In the longer term, access for residents from the site on to Kerdiston Road or Dereham Road is not easy, and in the case of Kerdiston Road there is then the challenging angled junction from that road on to Station Road.
