Respondent: Mrs Alison Dumbell

Representation Summary:

I am writing to object to to possible development in Bressingham. Namely GNLP2054 & GNLP2079. The points apply to both sites.

They are on or near School Road which I believe is totally unsuitable. This is the main route into the village, is narrow and already congested particularly during school pick-up/drop off. Parents park on the road making it difficult to pass and dangerous for children. Large vehicles regularly go off the road into the ditch.

School road is subject to flooding and there is often a large pool at the bottom leading on to the A1066 which has a 50 mph speedlimit with cars approaching from Thetford direction on a bend past the Chequers pub. There was a serious accident there this year.

These developments will be extremely detrimental to the character of this village.
