Representation ID: 20426

Received: 06/03/2020

Respondent: Mr David Jones

Representation Summary:

(Changed from object to support as respondent is actually supporting the categorisation of the site as unreasonable in the GNLP)

Inadequate services facilities to serve an increased population absent school, shops, GP surgery. Increased traffic would be unacceptable with limited bus service. Present speed limit is widely abused. Increased private car usage inconsistent with local authority sustainability plans and national law to become carbon neutral by 2050. Main road to, from and through the village would have to be widened for safe vehicular access. Ancient hedgerow, statutorily protected which helps preserve the rural character of the village would be removed.
The natural " buffer" between Brundal and Strumpshaw would be lost severely impacting on the rural openness of the landscape
