Representation Summary:

The access into VCALP1 is through an older estate road which commonly has vehicles parked along it. Sine VCALP1 has no secondary means of exit/entry the additional traffic burden would be significant and unacceptable. Why has the VCHAP not identified a site that can be accessed directly from a main road?

Change suggested by respondent:

Remove VCALP1 from the plan

Representation Summary:

As previously stated there is no justification for any further development in this area but if there has to be some, which is not accepted, then development of BAP1 would be preferred as it is brownfield site. ALP1 is a Greenfield site.

Change suggested by respondent:

leave this as a Greenfield area.

Representation Summary:

Church Meadow is a small estate road providing access to some 50 dwellings. In good weather children often play on the road riding their bicycles and skateboards or playing bat and ball. When there is a football match or training session on nearby Garrick Field, the road is usually busy with parked cars.

An increase of some 50% in the number of households and therefore traffic volume using Church Meadow arising from:
• 50 additional cars (assuming 2 per household)
• additional delivery vans and HGV lorries servicing those households
would significantly impair the tranquillity and safety of our community.

Change suggested by respondent:

The South Norfolk VCHAP SN 0400/VC ALP 1 plan should be abandoned as Church Meadow is a residential road and is not suitable for the volume of traffic that would be generated.

Representation Summary:

Alpington is a small rural village, access to ALP1 would be though an existing estate which is already very large for our village, extending it would make vehicle movements excessive and dangerous and out of keeping for the small village. I also fully endorse the previous objections to this development.

Change suggested by respondent:

Remove ALP1 from the VCHAP. If there has to be any development in the area the brownfield site at BAP1 would be most appropriate as long as the highway and pavement concerns can be taken account of.

Representation Summary:

I am concerned that the soundness of the plan is based on the accuracy of the comments in 2.9. The site has one point of access to Church Road, but because of a lack of direct access to Wheel Road or Framingham Road requires a long circuitous route. Using the footpath to the north of the site in order to access Wheel Road or Framingham Earl Road is of little benefit, as the footpath emerges to the west of the settlement.

Change suggested by respondent:

The site is situated west of Church Meadow which provides its access point, and north of Fortune Green, to which there is no access. There is an informal footpath to Church Road, which to the west becomes a rural path giving access through the fields to the western edge of the settlement.
