Representation Summary:

GNLP2063 - OBJECT

Over-development of a linear village. This would be backfill.
Access directly onto The Street, which cannot cope with any extra traffic and would be a danger to pedestrians and cyclists. The Street has numerous cars parked along its length and any further hazard such as turning or exiting a backfill site would cause accidents. Only last week there was a car accident on The Street in School commuter time.
Substantial increase in traffic from residents' vehicles on a daily basis which would have to travel through The Street to access the main road to Norwich which itself is narrow, often floods and is
entirely unsuitable for more vehicles.
Danger to pedestrians from increase in traffic volume to and from the site. We have a narrow pavement on one side of The Street.
Limited public transport in Rockland St. Mary, no train line nearby, a limited day time bus service dependent on continued subsidies from Norfolk County Council.
Impact on the environment and existing residents of the village.
We have 21 new homes under construction and until these are occupied it is impossible to assess the effect of this on residents and local services.
