Another access point to our long ribbon street and at a point of higher pedestrian activity as the local store/Post Office, and Doctors’ surgery are close here. Also this is a destination point in the village for vehicles which park and turn in this area; surely problems arising if this is developed. If two developments have to be assigned in the village, I suggest this is much less satisfactory than something on the northern side of the village, and where linkage to the main ribbon street would not be at such a busy point.
Road capacity: the road narrows at Bramerton, and it is an awkward place for buses to pass any oncoming traffic. More cyclists and there’s no provision for pedestrians either leaving the village.
Does this development proposal overload village amenities? Water, sewerage, electricity, broadband, schooling. Mobile phone signal remains poor in this area. Extending the length of the village would not be satisfactory; drivers already ignore the long 30mph speed limit stretches, and race through.
