I am objecting to this application as a resident who lives on Blofield Corner Road on the grounds of traffic, safety of pedestrians, surface water drainage provision, mains water pressure, misrepresentation on the building application plan of road space/design and housing type.

Referring to Blofield Parish Neighbourhood Plan (BPNP)
TRA1 local traffic: "Particular regard should be made to road safety, the needs of pedestrians and cyclists, parking provision and mitigating congestion"; when adjoining Blofield Corner Road from the proposed site and turning right to Little Plumstead within a few hundred yards this becomes a single track road with blind bends and with driveways being used as pull in spaces. There are no footpaths but this road is used by dog walkers and families walking/cycling in the countryside. From the development this would be the most direct route to the new Northern Destributor Road. As a result the increased vehicle movements would make this a dangerous section of road with no options to improve.

TRA3. as already stated walking and cycling would be affected on Blofield Corner Road. Additionally on the proposed plan it indicates the currently unadopted farm track (Dawsons Lane) will have footpaths either side of the road way, this is not physically possible even with the proposed increased width at the entrance due to adjoining properties, this means pedestrians including the disabled will have to use the single track roadway which i suggest is not appropriate under disability rights legislation on a new development.

ENV3: "Future development should not cause or contribute to the problem of flooding or drainage issues, or pollution." This site is adjacent to Borton Road indicated in BPNP as a flooding risk and in the Environment Agency flood risk map. Walking this track in the winter there is always standing water. The plan has no evidence of managing the current flood risk or the increased surface water caused by building on agricultural land. If the ditch further down the lane gets blocked I have witnessed flooding on the track, addjoining fields and by the pumping station at Blofield Corner.

There is already a water pressure issue in the area and this application does not make it clear how this will be addressed for the increased usage.

As already indicated the representation on the planning map for the entrance road indicates 2 footpaths and a single track road, this is not possible. It is also drawn showing this is smaller than the proposed estate roads within the development. Emergency service vechles would have issues accessing the estate and potentially getting to the houses. The application also states a mixture of affordable and market housing but the design shows all detached properties except two adjoinging by their garages this indicates they are not affordable.

Finally as this site is outside of the settlement limit there are more approapriate sites on the maim Woodbastwick Road that has better access and less safety issues and it is for that reason I hope you can uphold this objection.
