Representation ID: 18740

Respondent: Mrs Sarah Wyatt

Representation Summary:

Additional traffic generated by new houses will have a negative impact on Rockland St Mary and the safety of its pedestrians/children unless they are built on land between Rockland St Mary and Bramerton so that traffic does not need to pass through the centre of the village to get to Norwich.

I object to this proposed site on the grounds of the additional traffic that will need to pass through the village. All residents at this site would need to drive through the only road that leads through the centre of the village and out of the village to reach the A146 and Norwich. As this road is also the route many children in the village take to the local school take to walk to school and there is pavement on only one side of the road (which is narrow in places), additional traffic will make it even more dangerous for children walking to school. On these grounds I would only be in favour of new houses at the Bramerton end of the village, as these residents would have minimum impact on traffic levels through the village and keep our village safe for children and pedestrians.
