I would like my comments on site no. GNLP 0531 noted as a response to the GNLP consultation.

(As I do not have an e-mail address, my comments are being forwarded by a neighbour. I understand my neighbour contacted the GNLP for advice prior to writing this e-mail, and it is perfectly acceptable to forward my comments using her e-mail and they will be logged and noted).

I wish to OBJECT to this site for the following reasons:

Over-development of the village. Rockland St. Mary is classed as a Service Village with limited facilities.
No safe vehicular access to the proposed area, being onto a narrow road and on the brow of a hill.
Substantial increase in traffic volume from residents' vehicles on a daily basis which would have to travel through The Street to access the main road
Danger to pedestrians from increase in traffic volume to and from the site.
Existing small roads and narrow pavements cannot support this development
Limited public transport in Rockland St. Mary, no train line nearby, a day time bus service dependent on continued subsidies from Norfolk County Council
Loss of enjoyment of the environment for existing residents, and the many walkers and tourists who enjoy the nearby river, footpaths and Rockland Broad.
Planning already granted for 21 new houses onto the Bee Orchid Way development, where vehicles no doubt will access The Street from Surlingham Lane.
3 additional units approved for Saffron Housing behind Cookes Terrace again accessing onto The Street.
