I strongly object to the proposed development site GNLP 2063 for several reasons. The field that is the proposed site often floods following heavy rainfall and this would worsen, putting a strain on the water drainage system for the village.
The Access to the site gives a poor line of site in both directions (the vision splay will not be enough for the vehicles), becoming a safety issue for cyclists and pedestrians. This village is considered a cycle route on many days and weekends. An increase in cars (depending on number of houses), making it more congested and dangerous for pedestrians (narrow pavements in places) and cyclists. The road is currently used as a quick route into Norwich from Loddon (due to the dangers of joining the A146 and the increased volume of traffic is easily noticed, so an increase in traffic from the proposed site would make it more dangerous. Most people agree the road is busier than ever with vehicles some quite large for such a small main road,
Rockland St Mary is a linear village and such a development would stop the village having its linear design and the proposed site is outside the village boundary. If such a development were to go ahead it would destroy many natural habitats for the wide range of animals within the fields surrounding the village.
The village does not have the transport links with a minimal bus service into Norwich and the bus stop is outside the proposed entry to the sight and opposite the shop and doctors surgery. Many cars have to park on the side of the road there which makes it more dangerous.

There has been no thought of the village and the current residents with this proposed site and the negative effects it will have on the community due to the lack of understanding of the proposer!

The proposed site is on a much greater slope than stated which is not accurately stated in the proposal of the site and will affect the run off of water - something that is glossed over by the developer.
