Representation ID: 16340

Respondent: Mrs Sonia Passfield

Representation Summary:

There is a clear and obvious choice for sites to be developed in Dickleburgh which the parish council and villagers have supported, these being GNLP0350, GNLP0361 and GNLP0498, which all offer safe and easy access to the village and the A140 with minimal disruption. Sites GNLP0063 and GNLP0389 along Harvey Lane and Rectory Road are not wanted - they are inappropriate and unsafe and would cause chaos and distress, being disastrous for the village. There would be a significant impact on safety of walkers, cyclists, horse riders and disabled people using these narrow lanes as a recreational resource.

The choice of sites in Dickleburgh must surely be clearly obvious! The villagers are saying yes, homes need to be built, but where it is safe and appropriate to do so. The parish council and villagers have clearly indicated these sites. GNLP0350, GNLP0361 and GNLP0498 all offer safe and easy access for pedestrians to the village, clear and easy access to the main A140 with little disruption during building works. It cannot be more obvious!

With regards to utterly inappropriate sites, such as the site on Harvey Lane being developed as we speak, it is causing chaos and distress on a huge level. Sites
GNLP0063 and GNLP0389 would be a disaster for the village. These single track roads are used by a huge number of people as recreational areas for walking, cycling, horse riding and a circular route round the village. There are children, dogs, disabled people on these narrow lanes all the time. It's only a matter of time before the unthinkable would happen.

Harvey Lane, Rectory Road - no-one wants it. These sites are not safe, not wanted and certainly not appropriate. I sincerely hope sense prevails on these matters!
