I would like to log my objections to the proposed housing development at The Heath / The Turn, Hevingham. (GNLP2002 & GNLPSL0010).

The basis for my objection are as follows

1. The roads that access this area are all "single track" country lanes, in poor state of repair and maintenance, with few "passing" areas and no pavements.
There is also no street lighting.
Additional housing added to the area, would mean additional vehicles which, in turn, would increase risk for pedestrians.

2. There are no shops in the area and no medical services.
The nearest shops and medical services are in Aylsham, approximately four miles away. This fact would increase traffic movement either with home owners vehicles or delivery vehicles.

3. Increased vehicle movement would increase the numbers of "roadkill". Currently, there is substantial visual evidence of unacceptable numbers of "roadkill" on the surrounding lanes.

4. My understanding that the village school (approx 1 mile away in Hevingham village) is at capacity. If school places are not available for new / young families potentially moving in to the area. Traffic movement would again be increased with associated risk.

5. There are no amenities for young people in the area of The Heath / The Turn, or in the main village of Hevingham.

6. No public transport serving the immediate location. The nearest bus stop is at least one mile away on the Aylsham road.

7. I would question whether "Mains Sewerage" has the capacity for additional housing. (This point is made on the basis of a conversation with a local, long term resident who has witnessed the sewage main being worked on).

8. Local resident take up on a recent development in the main village of Hevingham was low. The properties had to be offered outside of the catchment area to attract tenants. This indicates that there is little or no requirement for additional housing in the area.
