Representation ID: 19355

Received: 14/12/2018

Respondent: Mr Christopher Armitt

Representation Summary:

The size of the development for the village of Roydon is wholly disproportionate. The application is incorrect regarding "good access" from Factory lane and Shelfhanger Road when this is in fact a single track lane on Factory Lane with poor access and onto a national speed limit road on Shelfhanger with limited visibility. The local road infrastructure is poor with only one main road through Diss and limited options due to pinch points on Shelfhanger road and the railway line. This proposal would require a bypass to be built north of Diss to link to the A140.
