Site Specific Comments (in support of sites to the north of Poringland notably 0321 or 1032)
The villages of Poringland, Framingham Earl, Stoke Holy Cross and Caistor use the facilities of Poringland. The volume, and to a lesser extent the speed, of traffic on the B1332 main road through Poringland is a significant community concern. It passes most of the services and facilities (shops, schools, village hall, dentist, pharmacy etc) and discourages walking and reduces the desirability of such trips. Most traffic is heading to Norwich for work, shopping and leisure. Whilst through traffic cannot be easily mitigated, new development should ideally be placed at the Norwich end of the current facilities.
