Respondent: Reepham Town Council

Reservations were expressed concerning the proximity of the site to the adjacent industrial area of Collers Way. Given that the Collers Way industrial estate appears to be fully occupied and that the estate is very congested it was felt that serious consideration should be given to designating this site as suitable for commercial/light industrial development. If the site continues to be considered for housing development, concerns were raised about the distance from the Town centre and, in particular, the schools.

Concerns were raised about access from the site to and from School Road/Whitwell Road. Given an adequate traffic management solution to the problem of vehicular access to the site and subject to the provision of sufficient land within the development area to allow for expansion of the primary school buildings and playing field the Council would have no objections to development on this site.

It is likely that the Town Council would find this site unacceptable because it is outside the settlement boundary and would represent an unwelcome and inappropriate development on one of the main access routes in to the town. Concerns were also raised about the lack of safe pedestrian access to the site from either Whitwell Road or Mill Road at the rear of the site.

The Town Council would find development of this site unacceptable because of the lack of a safe pedestrian access to and from the site. Given the location of the site it is unlikely that a safe pedestrian route from the site to the town centre could be created.

Concerns are the lack of safe pedestrian access from the sites to the town centre and the schools. The pavement along the Dereham road (only pedestrian access)is too narrow for pedestrians to pass others safely; neither does it extend to the frontages of the two sites on Dereham Road. Pedestrians leaving the site to the south of Dereham Road would have to cross the main road where visibility is restricted. It is unlikely that the existing pedestrian access could be improved to an acceptable standard. Sites are outside the settlement boundary and would represent an unwelcome and inappropriate development

A - The Town Council finds this site unacceptable because it is outside the settlement limit, it is not contiguous with existing development and there is no safe pedestrian access to the site. Concern was also expressed about the distance of the site from the town centre and schools.

B - This site unacceptable because it is very narrow and would not allow for development appropriate to the location and in keeping with existing development. There is concern about the lack of safe pedestrian access to the site and the distance of the site from the town centre and schools.

Given that this site has been proposed for an extension to the sewage works, the Town Council has not expressed a view on this submission except that we believe it would be unsuitable for housing.
