South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan (Reg. 18 Draft)

Representation ID: 216

Received: 24/06/2021

Respondent: Mr Philip Clarke

Representation Summary:

The roadways provided for these housing sites are often “unadopted” which leads to problems in maintenance, and equitable cost allocation. These may often be narrow, and may inhibit access of service vehicles, whether refuse, emergency, or even household services.
Being “village” properties, are these locations going to be placed where footpaths exist or will these be included in the builder’s provision (cost responsibility)?
Some of our local roads have difficult junctions and narrow pinch points which will be aggravated by additional volume of housing, and increased commuting. Increased Infrastructure costs may be necessary outside the new patches. We hope that future/ probable traffic volumes will be reviewed within this consultation. Several roads accessing the Loddon to Norwich road have access issues.
