Representation Summary:

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

Ever since the application was submitted by Ben Burgess I have been at a loss to understand why he feels that this is a suitable site for such a development. From a business point of view the transport links would be terrible. The amount of traffic on the A140 is already horrendous and would be significantly worsened by the extra traffic as a result of this development. The road has a large number of accidents and the delays due to volume of traffic make this a totally unsuitable location for such a development.

Ever since the application was submitted by Ben Burgess I have been at a loss to understand why he feels that this is a suitable site for such a development. From a business point of view the transport links would be terrible. The amount of traffic on the A140 is already horrendous and would be significantly worsened by the extra traffic that would be attempting to travel on the A140 as a result of this development. The road already has a large number of accidents and the delays due to volume of traffic make this a totally unsuitable location for such a development. On top of that the noise pollution that the village would suffer is unacceptable let along the destruction of the surrounding views for residents and the damage caused to surrounding fields, habitats and wildlife. I cannot believe that there is not a more suitable location in the county. There is tons of land north of the city around the NDR which would have significantly better transport links and access for heavy good vehicles than next to a small, quiet, picturesque village.
