Respondent: Taverham Road Action Group
We, Taverham Road Action Group, comprise around 40 local people strongly opposed to an unspecified number of houses being built here. Previous plans indicated a smaller site comprising three properties within the current settlement line, in keeping with adjacent homes, but this involves moving the settlement line to incorporate agricultural land, and sets a precedent for further development along Macks Lane, a popular community amenity. Loss of ancient trees and proximity to the Wensum would harm biodiversity and wildlife, and access close to Shakespeare Way onto a road with extremely poor sight-lines poses a serious danger to road-users and pedestrians.
