GNLP0230

Another good site to develop. Reason. All traffic from site would go straight up to the bypass. A140.
Shouldn't cause any problems for the village centre .

Another good site for development. Again shouldn't cause any problems for the village centre. Traffic exits site on
To Norwich Road then up to the bypass A140

I favour a site off the Ipswich Road - GNLP0361 ans GNLP0498 - for development.

Outside the village envelope that should be developed.

For such development as mentioned in previous comments regarding future development in Dickleburgh

This is one of five sites that improves the village and has the safest traffic routes to the A140 trunk road. This site would limit pressures on Rectory Road and Harvey Lane due to school drop off/pick up trips and still be within the village envelope. Any property's built on this site must have enough parking for the number of bedrooms in the property and roads must be wide enough for two vans to pass. Each site should include play areas in the planning applications and if necessary an on site parking area with a direct access to the street.

This is one of six sites that improves the village and has the safest traffic routes to the A140 trunk road. This site would limit pressures on Rectory Road and Harvey Lane due to school drop off/pick up trips and still be within the village envelope. Any property's built on this site must have enough parking for the number of bedrooms in the property and roads must be wide enough for two vans to pass. Each site should include play areas in the planning applications and if necessary an on site parking area with a direct access to the street.

I could support this proposal providing better and safer access to the A140 is provided at the north end of the village to cope with the volume of traffic.

I support this site as having direct access to Norwich Rd together with a small number of properties having little risk of flooding, but object to its location north of the village which will encourage residents to travel through the village to use the southern access to the A140.

Although this site would be preferable to GN0271 in part because it is smaller and because a portion of it is concrete hard standing, development would still increase traffic flow on the village rd and in particular at the junction of the A140.

Road infrastructure would not support any proposed development - there is therefore a highway concern as has already been mentioned in your own document

This and all the proposed land around it is geologically and geographically part of dickleburgh moor building on this sensitive site and those around it will place great strain on the moor. It will endanger species. This and all other sites north of Rectory Road and North and East of Norwich road present the most significant vista and outlook from the village. Destruction of these sites with housing will be catastrophic for the village of Diclkeburgh.

This land is on the flood plain. I would not want anyone to live in a new house built on land which may flood. Access to the A140 at the north of the village is less good than at the southern end.

I support this site as having direct access to Norwich Road involving a limited number of properties. My only objection is that drivers are likely to travel through the village to use the safer southern access to the A140.

The Parish Council objects on the grounds harm to the traffic infrastructure of the village.

Our general policy statement:

THE GNLP AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN OUR VILLAGES: A POLICY STATEMENT BY DICKLEBURGH AND RUSHALL PARISH COUNCIL

As a community, Dickleburgh and Rushall are committed to playing their part in the GNLP's plan for future housing. We believe some new housing, particularly that which is affordable, is important for the future health and prosperity of our village.
At the same time, it is essential that this growth is sustainable, proportionate and sited so that it does not place an intolerable strain on the infrastructure and character of our villages.
After careful discussion of the development options, two public meetings with residents and an opinion poll within Dickleburgh, the Parish Council has reached the following conclusions concerning future housing development:

1. The response to the call for sites has so far produced 13 proposals around the village of Dickleburgh.

2. Currently, the most urgent problem facing Dickleburgh concerns roads. Each of the three road in the centre of the village is already experiencing major traffic problems. It is essential, for reasons of safety to residents and drivers, that these are not exacerbated.
The Street is an extremely narrow road which, in spite of 20mph speed limit (widely ignored by drivers) struggles to cope with traffic, in particular heavy goods vehicles going to and from the Smurfit Kappa depot in Rushall.
Rectory Road, with houses on each side, parked cars and no pedestrian crossing has become very dangerous to pedestrians. Again, lorries from Smurfit Kappa are the main problem.
Harvey Lane, a narrow road on which the school, playground and village centre are situated, has had widely-publicised problems of congestion which will be worsened by a development of 22 houses, currently under construction.

3. The Parish Council is determined that what is already a bad and dangerous traffic situation in Dickleburgh must not be made worse by any new housing development. For this reason, we believe that any future development should take place to the south of the village off the Ipswich Road (GNLP0350 and GNLP0498; if there are problems with those sites, we favour GNLP0498).

4. New houses on that side of the village would provide residents with safe and easy pedestrian access to the village services, without adding to Dickleburgh's traffic problems.

5. We strongly oppose any potential sites that will add to the traffic on the three roads mentioned above. Our opposition includes sites on the Norwich Road to the north of the village. Local experience has shown that drivers will avoid the difficult junction on to the A140 to the north of the village, preferring to use the roundabout to the south. In other words, any Norwich Road development would add to pressure on The Street.

6. A survey for our proposed Neighbourhood Plan revealed, in addition, that residents on the Rectory Road greatly value the prospect from the village of Dickleburgh Moor, which is being developed as a wildlife site. In other words, development off the Ipswich Road has the added advantage of causing least harm to amenities enjoyed by current residents.

7. Dickleburgh Primary School, of which we are very proud, is now reaching capacity and will have no further potential for expansion.

8. We are also concerned that the village sewage system has limited capacity. There is a risk of flooding to the north of the village.

9. As a more general point, we believe that excessive loading of new houses on to rural villages would be environmentally irresponsible, increasing dependence on cars to drive to work, shop and deliver children to school.

CONCLUSION
The Parish Council believes that any future plans for housing must be in proportion to our current population and should not place an intolerable strain on village infrastructure.
Sensible, proportionate development to the south of Dickleburgh will retain the integrity and vitality of our village, while making a positive contribution to the county's housing needs.

Also one of the less worst proposed sites. However, negative impact on Dickleburgh Moor and increased traffic pressure on the centre of the village means that there are less damaging options available.

This land is adjacent to Dickleburgh Moor and dwellings here could have a serious impact on the Moor and it's wildlife.

Also housing here would add considerably to the traffic problems already in existence in Dickleburgh as any traffic heading south onto the A140 would drive through the conservation area and the already overloaded Street.

This site would have a serious impact on the Moor & would also further traffic problems.

The land is part of the Dickleburgh moor and is of historic and archaeological interest. The land has evidence of the great Roman Road and possibly an earlier Beaker track across the moor.
