Representation Summary:

The centre of Aslacton contains just 61 houses with 15 more in the process of build and 33 being planned as part of the VCHAP. It is stated by South Norfolk Council that the effects of multiple developments should be considered as a whole and therefore the village centre is in the process of a 78% increase. To do so without increasing the road capacity in the direction of Long Stratton and Norwich renders the proposed development unsound.

Change suggested by respondent:

Muir Lane should be widened to its junction with Aslacton Road in order that the traffic restrictions which are currently experienced are removed.
To ensure a safe pedestrian and cyclist route Northwards from the proposed development, a footpath and a 40 mph speed limit should be introduced. This would also provide a more safe pedestrian access to and between recognised footpaths and in order that pedestrians and cyclists are provided with a safe route
