I would like it recorded and put on file of my full disapproval and objection of the proposed development in the Greater Norwich Development Plan and the release of land under reference GNLP3003 Mill Road Reedham, this site is adjacent to property and the access would be to the side of property, this area is not suitable for development;
• The proposed 30 – 50 homes would be a massive intrusion to the privacy (of local residents) as a majority of housing along this site are bungalows and would be overlooked by the new development.
• The current infrastructure cannot cope now without the additional stress on the system with sewage regularly transported manually out of the village numerous times a day and the extra stress to the traffic system which is all narrow roads.
• The access is adjacent to the side of property and is only single track wide and therefore does not allow safe access to the site with limited visibility on to an already narrow road
• The Mill Road site is outside of the settlement area and development area of the village.
• Planning has already been refused for development of this site several years ago so goes someway to enforcing the unsuitability of the site where in addition access was also the problem then.
• The NCC Evidence plan and Highways report already state the unsuitability of the Mill Road Site so I am at a loss at to why it is even being considered.
• This part of Mill Road sees enough traffic stress with the school nearby and with no footpath access available or feasible is also not a safe option.
• A development of this site would de-value the existing properties greatly and the increase in noise pollution impact.
• With the supposed main aim of this programme being to increase pupil numbers at Reedham school there is already a great number of families in the village who choose not to send their children to Reedham school for various reasons so building new homes will not guarantee more children for the
school.
• The Mill Road area is close to nature areas and have unspoilt views with dark skies, and no doubt the village would insist on an environmental and nature impact survey for al further sites.
• The site is elevated over the railway line and the steep embankments would be at risk of collapse with the excavation required to install 50 homes.
• Mill Road is a narrow road and the increased traffic would put the road and area under irrecoverable stress and damage.
• The whole community is greatly concerned with the proposed development of the village and the huge additional stress it would put on all services and infrastructure, and we feel that strongly we have a community action group to ensure that the communities interests are up help and implemented.
• With the addition of the station road development being extended which seems inevitable much to the villages disapproval and has hugely impacted the village already and with a further 2 phases proposed it is incomprehensible what this extra development and the detrimental impact to the village
will be, with this mind surely this is enough for the village to cope with and the natural infill and natural growth of the village over the next 18 years,, why does it have to be hit in one swoop, Reedham will be hit with such an impact and swamped that no one will want to come to live here and existing
home owners will move away
• In the main village there are 2 areas of agricultural land both of which are being put forward for development !

PLEASE ENSURE THAN THE VILLAGE/COMMUNITY VOICE IS HEARD.
