New, Revised and Small Sites

Representation ID: 18322

Received: 10/12/2018

Respondent: B Somerfield

Representation Summary:

This is a rural, very agriculture area within an open countryside location.

With limited services and access to local amenities e.g. at least 1 vehicle per property would be necessary.

Services for any house build are likely to require significant improvement for Water, Electric and Telecom services

The locations are all single track carriage ways with regular HGV and agriculture traffic with limited and unofficial passing places i.e. worn down verges. The lanes are often flooded following rainfall and served only by drainage ditches.

The proposals do not reference any possible impact to the SSSI area at Buxton Heath.

I object to the significant housing proposals (GNLP2002 and GNLPSL0010) made

This is a rural, very agriculture area within an open countryside (not a brown-field site) location.

With limited services and access to local amenities few as they are and it be extremely difficult to live in this area without at least one vehicle per property i.e. two or more where would they be parked.

Services for any house build are likely to require significant improvement for Water, Electric and Telecom services to what is currently available in the area.

The locations suggested are all single track carriage ways with limited and unofficial passing places i.e. worn down verges.
The lanes are often flooded following a rainfall, served only by drainage ditches that are rarely maintained and not gritted during the winter months.

The proposals make no reference to any potential low lying water or flood risk to the sites nor, possible impact to the SSSI area at Buxton Heath {have Norfolk Wildlife Trust been made aware}.

Have the proposals taken any account of the immediate and potential on-going impacts to local businesses.
