Respondent: Mr Gerald Chance

Representation Summary:

Dangerous escalation of traffic on a narrow bend in the road together with high volume entering and exiting the site.
Too great a distance from the amenities at the village centre including public transport. Problem in providing sufficient splay for safe access from site to High Green. Adjacent to conservation area and listed buildings. Site would detract from the rural aspect of the village and surrounding area. No utilities infrastructure on site. Risk of flooding.

Proposed site GNLP2122 has many of the problems that I have listed in relation to the proposed site GNLP2119. Further problems would arise due to the number of dwellings and the possible provision of a school. A school this far from the centre of the village and main Norwich road, together with a higher number of houses, would generate a much greater volume of traffic accessing this strongly curved section of High Green, particularly at the times of the school run. Difficult to provide adequate splay to access the road leading into Brooke would be even more hazardous for children. As with site GNLP2119, this site is situated close to a conservation area and listed buildings and would be plainly visible when approaching from Shotesham. This will detract from the rural aspect of the village and its surrounding area. Further destruction of wildlife habitat. There is no public transport availability for over half a mile and no public footpath on this section of High Green. There is no utilities infrastructure on the site requiring mains reinforcement, an upgrade to the sewerage system and the water recycling centre. Additional tarmac and concrete would create a higher risk of flooding.
