New, Revised and Small Sites

Representation ID: 18330

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 and it would be difficult to live here without at least 1 vehicle per property.

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

The locations suggested are all single-track carriageways with limited and unofficial passing places (worn down verges),
are often flooded following a rainfall, served only by drainage ditches and not gritted during the winter.

The proposals make no reference to potential 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 country side (not a brown-field site) location.

With limited services and access to local amenities few as they are and it would be extremely difficult to live in this area without at least one vehicle per property

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 rain fall, 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
