Comments submitted during Stage B Consultation.
I am writing to express my concern about the proposed development under the above named reference. My family and I have lived at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(previously xxxxxxxxx Farmhouse) for the last 16 years and have become increasingly aware of this area's importance to the recreational well being of Wymondham. Cavick Road and it's surrounding countryside and dwellings provide Wymondham with a breathings space and gateway out into the countryside. In these 16 years there has been a significant increase in leisure use of the area by runners, walkers and cyclists. I would not want any such development to stifle the intangible but considerable benefits this brings.
The proposed development abutts the National Trust covenanted land of the historic Cavick Farm estate, include my house. Those properties covered by the covenant are subject to strict controls which protect the aesthetics and environment from discordant development. This proposed development could be so discordant.
Access to Wymondham from the development could create serious disruption for existing Cavick Road residents due to a number of bottlenecks at the Tiffey bridge and between our house and New Covert.
I also have concerns about how any consultation might have been conducted. We do not receive any local newspapers, ironically because we are too remote to be reached for normal deliveries. Anecdotally I also understand that Preston avenue residents are not aware of this proposal which would directly affect them.
