Representation Summary:

Objections to development on land to north of Blacksmiths Gardens:
Variation in land levels to the houses in Links Close adjoining the boundary.
Increase in traffic using the main road in and out of the village particularly Barn Corner.
Storm water disposal resultant from land given over to concrete.
The loss of natural sunlight and the impact on privacy for houses in Links Close / Meadow Close
The increase in crime (already a serious issue in Thurlton)
Lack of amenities, particularly a regular bus service for commuters resulting in more people using cars to get to and from work.

Change suggested by respondent:

The plans for the developments in Thurlton should be dismissed and natural infil allowed.

The proposed development of the property on the west side of Beccles Road is within the parish plan. I was under the impression that development within this area is restricted to infil only and not a development of 15 houses.

The development adjacent to Blacksmiths Gardens could be moved and continue to be adjacent to that development without impacting on any other houses and without affecting the route of the existing public footpath.

Consideration should be given to the variation in land levels and the impact this will have on adjoining boundaries.
