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. Furthermore, there
would be issues with the line of sight needed to exit this site causing
further potential hazards.
