I would like to object to the housing proposal GNLP2063 in Rockland St Mary for the following reasons:
The Road that runs through Rockland St Mary, The Street, is already very busy due to the increase in traffic from other villages, and was not built to withstand this volume. This increase would create further potholes and disintegration of the quality of the road.
The parking along the street at the present is causing congestion to traffic and has recently contributed towards an RTA. An increase in population would make this worse.
Increased traffic would increase air pollution and noise pollution.
Houses, purchased with a "view" will be devalued.
I disagree with the statement of: "Additional residential development in Rockland St Mary would help to support and sustain the local services and facilities within the village."
I believe this is contradictory to what the housing proposals do.
The infrastructure of the village is not in place to serve an increase in population.
This village is currently undergoing new houses being built at the back of Bee Orchid Way. The heavy Lorries going through have been disruptive and further building would extend this disruption.
Further houses would spoil the feel of Rockland St Mary making it become more like Poringland or the Suburbs.
