GNLP 2041

Outside of the contained village development boundary.

Limited access to vehicle traffic routes. Ownership land only accesses directly onto The Street (to the west) and/or to School Road / Star Lane (to North-east). Star Lane access to B1134 is severely limited (part single track) although providing most direct route to A140. Extra traffic onto School Road is not appropriate and a danger to child pedestrians. The Street is two lane (barely) but will impact on traffic flow through the village to an unsustainable level. All other possible road access routes pass through private land in the ownership of Thorander (onto Rectory Rd); Rose Farm / Rose Barn (onto Rectory Rd) and via Tivetshall House (also onto Rectory Rd).

We have been told previously that Tivetshall sewage systems are already at capacity. We already experience local flooding in The Street following limited development of further housing (2017-18). This scheme would have far greater impact.

Water supply within the village, already with limited pressure, will be made worse. BT systems are also stretched with broadband speeds unacceptable - will be made worse.

There is a sparsity of facilities in the village apart from Primary School, Village Hall and owner occupied Post Office. Post Mistress is due to retire shortly, so then that facility will close.

There are no public transport facilities to or from the village apart from those directly servicing the A140

Doctors surgeries are already over-subscribed at Pulham and Long Stratton.

There would be a need for additional social facilities to cope with this size development.

There would be mayor disruption in village during construction with heavy traffic, plant and machinery.

Loss of good agricultural land.
