Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Due to the lack of adequate bus services from the Village to both Norwich and Poringland most journeys for work , secondary education and healthcare will be by private vehicles. All roads leading into Alpington, Yelverton and Bergh Apton are at various places single lane with informal passing places. There are very few footpaths so that pedestrians have to walk on the roads. Road condition and safety already suffers due to the number of vehicle journeys to and from the A146 and an increase of 25 households in Alpington will exacerbate this.

Change suggested by respondent:

Reduce the number of proposed housing in the Village Cluster. Make improvements to the roads and footpaths.
