Representation Summary:
Agree with reasons for rejection
Sites in Thurton, particularly SN2048/SN4008 are close to the flood plain. Development will increase existing flooding issues on The Street and potentially A146.
Junction alignment onto A146 makes development on The Street side of the A146 problematic. Development , apart from infill, has historically therefore been confined to the Ashby side of the A146. This also helps to minimise the amount of pedestrians crossing of the A146.
Traffic volumes already cause great difficulty accessing the A146 from all side roads in Thurton and traffic on the A146 waiting to turn is an increasing hazard.
