ref:proposed development GNLP0379 North of Post Office Road
strongly object to this development of 50 -60 dwellings.
Access would be onto Post Office Road - which at the moment is narrow and thus reduces the speed of traffic as in place two vehicles cannot pass. There is a mature hedgerow and mature trees along the boundary of this site therefore if the road was widened it would require the removal of these resulting in a wider road and traffic speed would increase. Added to this- access to the village Millennium Green (village park/playground) off the same road would be a danger in itself to children/pets/pedestrians.
Views across to the church would also be lost and the visual rural setting of the church itself
Why does the majority of development have to be on one site? other sites proposed ie GNLP0296 and indeed sites in Strumpshaw would actually be nearer or no difference in distance to the shop/school/community centre.
The alternative site GNLP0380 would be a better site even if it was extended to the west (if not considered large enough) it would be much easier access to the A47 and thus traffic would be less within the area around the Millennium Park and the village itself
