Representation Summary:

Comments on small site GNLP0104 Plan. Land off Sandstone Way.

1) Firstly the land is one of the prime archaeological sites in Roydon and should not be destroyed.
2) Secondly there is a public footpath which runs (by) property and crosses the access to the site (Angles Way).
3) Thirdly the end of those homes will block the light coming into (local) property.
4) Fourthly the roadways leading to Sandstone way and on Sandstone way itself are inappropriate due to the fact the are narrow and restricted. Roads and pavements on Sandstone way are breaking up due to heavy vehicles mostly having to mount pavements to get past parked vehicles. The road from the a1066 to the site cannot take more vehicles owing to being congested already. (Occupants) have even had the refuse lorry leave (not collect) the bins at (the) end of sandstone way because it could not get up the roadway to the properties. The junction onto the main a1066 is dangerous, with a bend which does not allow traffic much time to pull out. The main a1066 is a problem with a lot of vibration from vehicles, this can be felt as far as Tottington lane and has caused cracks to appear in various properties.
5) Residents are opposed to Diss joining up to Roydon and want to have non-development between them.
6) Just a passing point, we see other housing the other side of the a1066 which will lead to more traffic using Upper Denmark Lane junction and more congestion on the a1066 main road.

Comments on small site GNLP0104. Land off Sandstone Way.

1) Firstly the land is one of the prime archaeological sites in Roydon and should not be destroyed.
2) Secondly there is a public footpath which runs (by) property and crosses the access to the site (Angles Way).
3) Thirdly the plan shows two houses (semi-detached) on the narrowest part of the site. I have a window facing the footpath to let light and the end of those homes will block the light coming into (local) property.
4) Fourthly the roadways leading to Sandstone way and on Sandstone way itself are inappropriate due to the fact the are narrow and restricted. Roads and pavements on Sandstone way are breaking up due to heavy vehicles mostly having to mount pavements to get past parked vehicles. The road from the a1066 to the site cannot take more vehicles owing to being congested already.
