This objection is regarding the gnlp for main towns, viz Aylsham, sites GNLP0311,0595,2060 at the junction with Burgh Road and A140.

The objection is on the grounds of health and safety.

The exiting traffic from three hundred new houses and a new school will be obliged to exit onto Burgh Road since an exit onto A140 is probably not desirable.

Burgh Road direction into the town of Aylsham is not regulation width.

It has a narrow pedestrian footpath on one side only

It has a traffic calming island at the junction with Oakfield Road that has caused angry confusion which I have witnessed.

Public transport (eg Sanders’ buses) cannot exit the left hand turn without using the full width of Norwich Road, thus causing a halt to the traffic flow into the Market Square.

Thus my objection highlights the extra pollution from the increased traffic, the safety of pedestrians especially (extra) school children, the narrowness of the non regulation sized carriageway, the narrowness of the existing pavement, the unhelpful traffic calming construction at Oakfield Road and the inability of public transport to negotiate the left turn bend into Norwich Road at the town end of Burgh Road without disruption to traffic flow into the town.

P.S.
I might comment on a throw away remark from an officer at the exhibition in tHe Aylsham Town Hall in response to a query about the narrowness of Burgh Road, ‘Well, we’ll just widen Burgh Road , in that case”.
Has anyone who compiled this gnlp with Aylsham in mind made a site visit ?
