Respondent: Mr Adrian Mitchell

Representation Summary:

This development is far to large for this village .
If the village was to have further development ,closer to the A47 it would cut the traffic coming through the village.

We strongly object to this development for many reasons ,
Buckenham Road and buckenham lane are both single track roads with no way of widening at the top from the main Norwich road .
Both these roads ,may I add are extremely difficult to get out of onto Norwich Road with the current volume of traffic that currently use it with out any extra traffic.
The traffic near the spar shop already causes blind spots With the current amount of cars that park there ,and I have seen and heard of many cars being hit whilst parked, With the current amount of traffic going up and down Norwich road
Getting out at Buckenham Road Junction You have to judge alot of speeding traffic going along Norwich Road ,with the added problem of traffic coming out of homelea junction nearly opposite .
If the new proposed development of 110 houses goes ahead this would not be safe for parents and children walking to school as this is a main route to the only school in the village .
This piece of land that has been proposed is grade 1 land but is a flood risk Area ,it harbours much wildlife some of which nest in the hedgerows , there are many deer that graze and families of hares and pheasants .
With the extra traffic a site of this size would create the many dog walkers and families would no longer be safe to walk along these currently quiet and tranquil lanes .
There is currently already a large strain on our GP Surgeries which are based in Brundall or Blofield
only one small village shop A sewerage system that already cannot cope with the current housing volume in the village let alone 110 More proposed houses in one area .
The whole village with such a mass of New properties together ,would spoil this is a village it's going to end up becoming a town !
