Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20885

Received: 11/03/2020

Respondent: Rodney Green

Representation Summary:

The town has reached it’s full capacity of sustainability and its whole infrastructure is now
being threatened and flooded by continual over development.
The Doctors Surgery and Hingham Primary School are already
over subscribed. No NHS Dentists in the area taking on new patients.
The B1108 road is heavily used by large slow moving farm vehicles and HGV’s going
through the town, a lot travelling to the Hingham Industrial Estate and to a major
International Engineering company which are both situated opposite the proposed site.
The B1108 through the town can’t accommodate any extra volume of traffic without
being a serious danger to the public. The town simply does not have the parking facilities
for these increased numbers.
Very dangerous access from every direction on to the B1108 all through the town
especially during rush hour!
In the last several years Hingham has lost most of it’s local shop amenities
including the Post Office, Convenient Stores and many independent traders.
Another development of eighty or so houses will simply swamp and pollute the
environment of a once traditional Norfolk market town.
