I am writing to oppose the above proposed site for the building of 20 houses on the following grounds :

1) Swainsthorpe is a small village with no facilities i.e. shops, post office or school.

2) It would greatly increase the size of the village.

3) Access onto Church Road would have to be on common village land with a small village green, unless it went on the other side, directly onto
Church Road.

4) Church Road is used as a rat run from Mulbarton. At peak times, it is a busy and fast road. Motorists do not adhere to the 30 m.p.h. speed
limit. A recent speed trap recorded speeds at up to 75 m.p.h.

5) It is close to the level crossing which is closed several times every hour, causing a build up of traffic.

6) Loss of agricultural land.

7) It would add lots of cars to the already problematic entry onto the A140. Even during the day, traffic is constant and it is difficult to access.
