We, Foulsham Parish Council, strongly object to plan GNLP0605 on the grounds of very poor access. Aubrey Rix Close, on which the pavement and road are the same level, with no kerb stones is a narrow road. This would bring pedestrians into close proximity with traffic which is not a good mix for road safety or health and safety, especially as there are a large number of children walking/running to and from school along this route.

My objection is to additional vehicular traffic at the junction of Station Road and Foundry Close.
Also, yes, there is a pedestrian route to the school, but this is increasingly becoming not 'safe'. There is much traffic through Foulsham, cars, vans and large lorries.

I lived in XXXX since 1996 developments Stringers lane/ Aubrey Rix Close have put an increased strain on poor road infrastructure the junction between Foundry close and stringers lane, is single lane myself and other residents have almost knocked down at the junction, and traffic at present onto station road is already a problem onto a busy high street.
My house backs onto the proposed development which is a haven for wildlife, deer owls, bats and toads frogs and newts and nesting birds not to mention we live in a conservation as stated in our deeds. I strongly object

I don't object to new houses being built but I do object to the positioning. I live on stringers lane and the road access is not suitable. You can only get one car through on the road. Two cars passing need to go on thesame level pedestrian path. This road is used by families to get to and from school and can, at peak times, be busy with pedestrians. I don't think additional access to and from is suitable from the proposed site. There are also often cars parked outside houses so passing would be almost impossible with two cars.

I have only just been made aware of this proposed development. Surely, as residents, we should have had notice of this before now AND a longer time to respond.
Foulsham is a small village and access through and around it, limited. There is an on-going traffic calming scheme already in place which seems to have little effect on speed. Large lorries and farming vehicles often through the village have/ cause trouble passing; without up to 100 new homes, with attendant vehicles. Notwithstanding, the stress/infrastructure implications/ noise/ pollution/safety/wildlife/welfare of, or on, the present villagers and habitat of all concerned. I OBJECT.

I object to the plan GNLP0605 on the grounds of very poor access.
Since the recent Aubrey Rix Close development from Stringers Lane, the junction with Foundry Close has become very busy, and a danger to children and cyclists due to the large increase in the number of vehicles accessing this junction. The proposed additional development will not only increase this safety issue but will also destroy the wildlife corridor backing onto Foundry Close.

As a resident living at XXXXXX, I strongly object to the proposal to extend the building to the rear of Foundry Close. I live XXXXXXX and the traffic passing by is already excessive for a rural village let alone the anti social and disruptive behaviour that comes a long with.
There is no infrastructure within the village to support more residential homes, no bus service, a walk of a mile to and from bus stop in another village with no foot ways, street lights & insufficient room to provide them

My view over the site and my privacy would be destroyed by this development (redacted to remove mention of address). The proposed access via Stringers lane and Aubrey Close would be very dangerous and I have witnessed several near misses at the junction between Stringers Lane and Foundry Close. We have watched a lot of wildlife on this site including owls, bats and deer. I strongly object.

Aubrey close, stingers lane and foundry close already has access and parking problems, also the high st has cars parked on one side as these homes are old and without parking, the village will become gridlocked and dangerous for pedestrians and school children. Why does the council feel every bit of green space requires a house to be built on it.? We have no public transport links, no doctors; tiny village shop, and a small pub. Honestly this is crazy and lazy proposition by planners and I strongly OBJECT. If permission or when it’s granted it will just the start,

Object to GNLP0605 Rationale- very poor access.
Currently the junction with Foundry Close is already very busy, and a danger to children/cyclists due to the large increase in the number of vehicles accessing this junction post the recent Aubrey Rix Close development from Stringers Lane. The additional development will only increase this safety issue especially given the access is a single track road. A further consideration is the impact on the wildlife corridor behind Foundry Close, currently teeming with life, which will be destroyed unnecessarily when there are potential brownfield sites that exist within the village that have been declined.

Whilst there are no designated heritage assets within the site boundary, there are a number of grade II listed buildings to the south of the site and the Foulsham Conservation Area lies to the south and east of the site. Any development of the site has the potential to impact upon the setting of these heritage assets.
We welcome bullet point 2 which refers to the listed buildings to the south. However, there is no mention of the conservation area.
Suggested Change:
Amend the policy and supporting text to make reference to the Foulsham Conservation Area and associated listed buildings and the need to conserve and enhance the significance of the heritage assets (including any contribution made to that significance by setting).
