Proposed Development of Wroxham Football Club, Skinners Lane, Wroxham
As a neighbouring resident I refer to the above proposal to erect 20 dwellings on the WFC present premises at Trafford Park, Wroxham. This, I feel, along with many residents of Skinners Lane, Castle Street and Church Lane, [would be] totally out of character for an otherwise quiet, peaceful retirement area.
Skinners Lane would provide site access, which is very popular with dog walkers and ramblers and the extra traffic would be a great danger to them. There is no footpath, turning area, or passing places, also no proper drainage system for surface rain water to run off.
Given that most modern houses have at least two cars, also delivery vans etc, this small lane would not cope with the extra traffic. It is an ever increasing problem for vehicles to gain access to the main A1151 road, and this would make the situation even more of a problem and intolerable.
With the ever increasing population it is vital that this sporting facility remains as it is for there is a great need for it.
In summary, please would you, as our local planning authority, give every consideration to these points I have raised when making your final decisions, as it is the only sports area in our village.
