Representation ID: 21520

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Bergh Apton Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Bergh Apton is a rural village, 7 or 8 miles from Norwich city centre. Bergh Apton has been grouped with Alpington and Yelverton as a village cluster for development. There is no school in the village, the nearest being at Alpington. There is no footpath from Bergh Apton to Alpington.
Of the 9 sites put forward in Bergh Apton, only the former blockworks on Church Road would have reasonable access to the school in Alpington, if a permissive path was provided. Also, the road could potentially be widened if it was felt that part of it was too narrow.
