Respondent: Mr Robert Baker

Representation Summary:

Comment supports site being considered unreasonable.

I agree that GNLP0482, the site East of Old Norwich Road, is totally unsuitable for residential development.
The adjacent roads cannot sustain additional traffic and there would be a likelihood of an increase in accidents at the bottom of Old Norwich Road where the through road is already constricted. In addition there would be safety concerns for cyclists who currently enjoy the new cycle paths running along Bullock Hill to neighbouring villages.
The proposed development would also result in the loss of valuable agricultural land and destroy the character and rural life of the village.
