Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 19943

Received: 15/02/2020

Respondent: Mr Richard Snowball

Representation Summary:

Entry and exit from this site is entirely inadequate and onto a road too small for the extra traffic produced by only two cars per proposed dwelling. Given the ratio of one car per person some households seem to prefer 60 to 80 cars is a conservative estimate. The site no doubt will be developed but I think you are far too optimistic as to the number of houses. Five is a better number, better still turn it into a playing field for the local Primary school.

Entry and exit from this site is entirely inadequate and onto a road too small for the extra traffic produced by only two cars per proposed dwelling. Given the ratio of one car per person some households seem to prefer 60 to 80 cars is a conservative estimate. The site no doubt will be developed but I think you are far too optimistic as to the number of houses. Five or less is a better number. Better still having Broadland purchase the land and turn it into a playing field for the Primary school. A much better solutions as to the land use.
Drains on this side of the village will find themselves stretched by the extra capacity. Services to the village are a serious issue nobody seems to want to address in the context of proposed developments. Broadland are letting us down in this respect.
Small scale organic development of infill, and small developments with architectural merit; careful consideration of the local environment, should be the drivers for planning consideration not notional "spare" school capacity.
