When permission was granted for Eel Catcher Close it was on the understanding that it didn’t set a precedence for further building on the site, the opposite is now being stated.
Extremely poor vehicular and pedestrian access.. Previously there have been amber warning on access to Eel Catcher Close.
The proposed footpath would mean having to cross on the blind summit or use the ‘additional’ footpath crossing the road on a bend to access the current footpath on the opposite side of the road.
Rockland St Mary is a mainly linear settlement, proposed site is out of keeping with this.
The site is unsuitable due to poor access. It is not in keeping with the village building line.
The site is too far away from the centre of the village. This means that people will be using their cars to access the villages amenities like the shop, school and GP surgery increasing the volume of traffic on small country roads. The village doesn’t have adequate drainage system, the sewage pipes at the end of the village overflows when there is heavy rain. The village suffers from poor internet connection.
