This site is felt unsuitable and unachievable for 25 dwellings. There will be a detrimental effect on traffic flow and road safety with the unsatisfactory proposed vehicular access. There are already safety concerns for residents and accidents have occurred.
The Street is a major thoroughfare with a regular local private bus service to Norwich city which adds to traffic flows at peak times. Traffic mitigation could be achieved by reducing number of housing units to 8-10 but highway access and new footpath requirements remain unachievable as they cross significant third party private property and road signage, telegraph poles.
Rockland St Mary’s current location density average is 0.0, this would increase to an average of 0.3/0.4 just purely based on this proposed site.
