No consideration has been given to the narrow roads leading into and through the village. Traffic to and from the school is heavy and chaotic., exacerbated by traffic to the playgroup. Roads from Poringland, BerghApton and Norwich to the school are all too narrow in parts to accomodate two vehicles passing. The verges are being eroded. There are very dangerous blind bends on the Poringland Road which have already had accidents. Local people avoid using the roads at school times. More housing will obviously result in more traffic. Until Poringland has an adequate school things will not improve.
This scheme should not go ahead at all for the reasons stated above. The danger is that all the roads will eventually be widened in order to address residents' concerns and our small village will become even more open to development.
Surely land adjacent to the NDR is already providing thousands of houses.
