Site access on 60 mph road
Blind bend to north
No footpaths
Poor access to south of Reepham
Limited parking in the town
Loss of agricultural land
This site is situated just beyond a blind bend with traffic travelling at national speed limit of 60 mph right up to and often beyond the 30 mph sign, there is no current access to the site from Cawston Road and no foot paths either side of the road. To access the schools, traffic will need to cross the town at the extremely tight Townsend Corner crossroads. A planning application for wind farm cabling has also been submitted for part of this site which could conflict with building here. As a key service center Reepham is poorly served with poor public transport and just one ATM outside the Spar. There is already a need for more parking in the town. With Brexit just around the corner we need to retain agricultural land to feed everyone.
