Representation ID: 2994

Received: 08/03/2023

Respondent: Rockland St Mary With Hellington Parish Council

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

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.

Change suggested by respondent:

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.
