Very concerned about the environmental impact upon the much loved Wensum Valley used by so many for recreational purposes.
Taverham Road and it's path are too busy and narrow to allow the safe movement/access of construction traffic and approx 140 vehicles associated with the 70 dwellings. I am particularly concerned about the safety of children walking along this busy road/path.
The combinational impact of this and other proposed sites on Taverham Road is unacceptable.
I am very concerned about the impact of this development upon the beautiful Wensum Valley which is a wonderful amenity enjoyed by many. The Wensum Valley will be significantly visually impaired by the encroachment of this development.
Taverham Road is a very narrow and busy local road with a very narrow single path to one side. This road has been traffic calmed to mitigate some of the consequences of speeding vehicles and commercial vehicles whose wing mirrors often overhang the path. I am already concerned about the safety of my grandchildren (and others) when walking along this narrow path.
Initially the construction traffic will have an overwhelming impact on the road through what appears to be the only access to the site (through a to be demolished bungalow). Longer term the impact of perhaps as many as 140 vehicles will be severe. In both cases the access to the site appears completely unacceptable from a health and safety perspective.
