Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations
Representation ID: 21374
Received: 16/03/2020
Respondent: Reepham Town Council
Concerns are the lack of safe pedestrian access from the sites to the town centre and the schools. The pavement along the Dereham road (only pedestrian access)is too narrow for pedestrians to pass others safely; neither does it extend to the frontages of the two sites on Dereham Road. Pedestrians leaving the site to the south of Dereham Road would have to cross the main road where visibility is restricted. It is unlikely that the existing pedestrian access could be improved to an acceptable standard. Sites are outside the settlement boundary and would represent an unwelcome and inappropriate development.
