Current traffic movements taken from SAM2 camera data show that there were 29,000 vehicle movements in and out of the village on Church Road in January. This is a fair representation of vehicle movements monthly. Significant road improvements would be needed. These are not possible given the village layout (church/pond/housing).
Cllr Graham Plant, supporting the Norwich Western Link, recognises that many local Norfolk roads are single track and not designed to take high levels of traffic and the ensuing knock-on impacts (road safety, air quality in communities, and less reliable journey times. Yet the VCHAP proposal will do just that.
Alpington and Yelverton and Bergh Apton are not suitable sites for development given the impact on local roads and should be discounted.
