Representation ID: 17909

Received: 27/11/2018

Respondent: Brenda Schofield

Representation Summary:

I am writing to object to all of the above, the shear volume of houses being proposed south of Taverham Road is unsustainable for the area with traffic already at a stand still in peak times at the junction of Fakenham Road and difficulty in passing the school with a long line of parked cars dropping of and then picking up children after school, in parts the road is very narrow and often large vehicles have to go onto footpath to pass other road users. Are our doctors, dentist and schools going to be able to cope with the influx of this amount of extra people in the village of Taverham and Drayton, I don't think so.
Joint Nature Conservation Committee which is a statutory adviser to UK Government has designated the River Wensum a Special Area of Conservation it would be a great shame to loose this area forever.

I sincerely hope that common sense will prevail and these application will fail.
