Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan - Alternative Sites & Focused Changes (Reg. 18)

Representation ID: 3481

Received: 29/01/2024

Respondent: Mrs Susan Morris

Representation Summary:

My concerns are the road is not wide enough to include a footpath or widen without removing an ancient hedgerow that is home to a colony of sparrows. The road is already busy and with a bad bend, entrances would cause more hazards. The road to Poringland is narrow with many bends, traffic is not travelling slowly enough for the conditions. All roads out of the village are single lane in places. Diversions from A146 make it impossible. Grass verges being destroyed, ditches and the gullies leading into them not maintained properly. Infrastructure not able to keep up with building.
