Skinners Lane is a fairly unique road in the Broads. It is a single track road about 8 ft wide which is essentially a dead end elevated about 60 ft above The River Bure
The current football traffic is acceptable as it is only significant every other week (home games) during the winter season.
Skinners Lane is a single track road without a foot path and is only about 8ft wide. To accommodate a development of 20 houses the road would have to widenned to over 13 ft and a 3 ft wide footpath added. This would have to be on the river side as the other side already abuts the house
gardens. As that side is within the domain of The Broads Authority. They might object to change of view from this unique stretch of the river.
The widening would have to be completed before the housing *construction could commence.
Also there are significant restrictions to widening the road at the northern end where there are houses both sides of the road.
Castle Street leading to the Norwich Road is effectively a single track road with only a partial footpath. Probably no footpath could be added to the railway bridge.
The possible congestion problem at the junction to the Norwich Road have already been acknowledged.
It should also be noted that the existing sewer is inadequate and frequently blocks.
