We have registered our objection online to GNLP2051 (151 Taverham Road) and herewith submit the reasons for this decision

1. Extra traffic due to access on Taverham Road - this will compound the problem we already have getting onto the Drayton/Fakenham Road due to the volume of traffic.
2. We are already experiencing increased volume of traffic due to the NDR not joining with the Southern ByPass and Taverham Road being used as a cut through.
3. We believe that GNLP2051 and further GNLP projects in this area will devalue the existing properties on Taverham Road.
4. Taking into account the redevelopment of the Royal Norwich Golf Course where a vast number of houses will be built, we have seen no improvements to the road network having or being done e.g. widening of roads/dual carriageway. It is already a problem in that traffic is quite regularly backed up to Drayton from Middleton's Lane traffic lights and the houses are not yet even finished, therefore, further GNLP projects in the aea will only compound this and cause gridlocks
5. We also ask how the local infrastructure/facilities will be able to cope when they are already struggling, we refer to schools, doctors, sensitive environment areas such as the Wensum Valley and the woods that back onto houses on the Taverham Road
6. Macks Lane is presently a wonderful safe and lovely place to walk - traffic access will totally destroy the loveliness of this walk and ruin the environment.
