Respondent: Forncett Parish Council
Forncett Parish Council has decided not to make comments on individual sites, but would wish to make the following points (applicable to all sites):
We do not rule out modest future development but this should be in keeping with our village situation and surroundings and on a scale which is commensurate with the limited facilities available. Of major concern is that many of our roads are single track with passing places: further extensive (or even moderate) development requiring access on these roads would be problematic.
There seems to be no opportunity to make a general comment on all sites within the Parish of Forncett (St Peter, including Forncett End, and St Mary) so this comment is applicable to all sites.
Forncett Parish Council has decided not to make comments on individual sites, but would wish to make the following points:
As pointed out elsewhere, we feel our settlements are 'borderline' Service Villages with no doctor, post office, general store etc. and mediocre transport links. We do not rule out modest future development but this should be in keeping with our village situation and surroundings and on a scale which is commensurate with the limited facilities available. Of major concern is that many of our roads are single track with passing places - which struggle to cope with the level of traffic at the moment. Further extensive (or even moderate) development requiring access on these roads would be problematic.

This site (and GNLP0094), both in Forncett End, should be considered for development only if road access to the sites were via The Fields (i.e. through the already committed adjacent site - TAC1) and thereby on to the Norwich Road (B1113). The alternative access on to Common Road and thereby onto the Norwich Road at the crossroads in Forncett End is completely inappropriate due to the single track nature of Common Road and the dangerously poor visibility at the crossroads, flanked as it is by Austhorpe House Nursing Home on one side and The Jolly Farmers pub on the other.

I object for the following reasons:-
1. Poor access from Common Road. This is single track throughout and is used by farm and other vehicles heading to Spooner Row and the A11.
2. Tacolneston/Forncett has poor water pressure. Another large development would only exacerbate the problem.
3. Tacolneston/Forncett doesn't have facilities to support a large development (no shops to buy the most basic essentials).
4. Increased traffic - there would be a cumulative affect on the B1113 towards Norwich from other village developments creating an issue at the A140 junction
