The increase in cars will further exacerbate an already chronic problem with traffic along Beccles Road. Turning right onto Beccles Road is already potentially dangerous.
Lessen the density and thereby the impact of this proposed development.

The Parish Council are extremely concerned with the access for the proposed site, based on the allocation. As highlighted the site slopes downwards East to South-West, meaning the access to Beccles Road will be also be sloped. For the proposed target of 15 houses (~30 cars) this is a significant risk accessing the Beccles Road. We also agree with highways that access to the site via Sandy Lane to the South should not be permitted

In addition to the 2016 application, 2 further applications were submitted to extend development on the site (2018/2593 & 2018/2594), but were subsequently withdrawn. However, in both cases Highways raised significant concerns about the standard of roadway through the development and the access to Beccles Road. In light of these the Parish Council ask that all 8 of the comments/recommendations from highways are considered again.
