GNLP0345

I object to this proposed site fro the following reasons :-
1) The proposed entrance to the site of the Lodden Rd is out side the the 30 MPH limit and would entail the removal of mature oak trees and natural hedging habit.

2) The Lodden road is a narrow road with woodland and heath land directly opposite the proposed entrance to the site the 3 feet verge fronting the woodland and heath is frequently used for parking cars for people using the heath making the passing of traffic very difficult and even hazardous when meeting on coming Buses Lorries and especially farm machinery this also very much applies for Lodden Rd towards the cross roads there is the School entrance attracting a lot of parked vehicles in fact the parking of vehicles on both sides of the Lodden road down to the one and only shop makes driving to say the least difficult more traffic would just further complicate the already hazardous navigation.
3) The proposed development of houses would be much out of character with the surrounding area in fact would be an eye sore as it would align with the existing estate of all Bungalows and seriously compromise there privacy and
also seriously devalue there market value.
4) In conclusion I feel Ditchingham has Had more than its fair share of development with the recent large development of the MALTINGS and a further
proposed development of 24 houses just to the north (600 yards) from this proposal it is in fact the same land owner. As the Village has only one shop and half a post office to its name I would think there is not much interest
Or is it a question of the Landed Gentry increasing there wealth at the expense of village people who have spent there life buying there propery
only to see it devalued if this site proposal is allowed to proceed Thank you

I refer to the above site put forward for housing development and comment as follows:
1) There will be a considerable loss of mature oak trees and hedging to form an entrance with adequate visibility splays;
2) There is at present no pavement for pedestrian access beyond the end of Waveney Road;
3) The proposed entrance is beyond the end of the present 30MPH limit and also beyond the end of street lighting;
4) There is at present no designated bus stop east of Ditchingham Village Hall.
5) New properties with frontages onto either Loddon Road or Tunney's Lane would involve disturbance to and removal of existing hedge banks and mature oak trees to form entrances.
6) The present rural character of this part of Loddon Road and Tunney's Lane will be affected by estate type development of this land. In addition the local nature reserve of Broome Heath is situated on the opposite side of Loddon Road and this is one of the limited parts of the perimeter which remains open country where it is not already enclosed by housing development.
7) The proposed site has bungalows adjoining to the south west here in Waveney Road and to the north east on the opposite side of Tunney's Lane. Housing development would adversely affect the existing properties, particularly in Waveney Road where the rear gardens are quite limited.
8) The proposed site is at present subject to arable agricultural use for food production which will be lost if development takes place
