I object to the plans for various reasons
1. More traffic on a very small road already (Alan Ave)
2. More traffic entering and leaving the village by an already dangerous junction.
3. Not every little village needs to be made into a town!
4. I live here for countryside views not city views.
5. The doctors is already hard to get an appointment at another 100 people will just make it worse.
6. Eco system and Wildlife affected, bat's, sloworms, deers, foxes, hedgehogs, birds all of which live here and have been seen by myself.

I think you could take the settlement land limit towards the railway line too as there is a road there and houses, the field that backs the playing field

Ref Site SN4024, Land off Alan Avenue, Newton Flotman - I object to this site for the following reasons :
Traffic generation & access
Adequacy of parking/loading & turning on Alan Avenue
Highway safety
Air quality concerns due to increased traffic
Noise and disturbance resulting from use
Environmental impact - Nature conservation , wildlife
General Amenities - Pressure on existing infrastructure : School, Dr surgery, drainage, sewage, waste removal, electricity and communication network

Only access to the site is Alan Ave, barely adequate for the traffic volume at present. Passage of heavy plant and diesel lorries over long period is unacceptable and damaging to the environment and health of residents . Diesel particulates are a proven health risk.
GP services already overwhelmed - 3 weeks for apt. NF school is full now!
Traffic flow off A140 via Flordon Rd to Alan Ave would make a massive obstacle for traffic flow on a road that is already at risk from speeding drivers. Therefore I must register my strong opposition to this proposal.

1. Newton Flotman thrives as a small village – we do not all want to live in towns.
2. We have a duty to protect our green spaces and provide a suitable environment for the birds and wildlife that currently thrive here.
3 The current infrastructure in the village is not suitable for the volume of traffic that will result in the village. The roads surrounding the sites are narrow, and were never designed to have 100+ extra vehicles a day.
4. We do not have the facilities in the village to support a large influx of people.

The infrastructure of the village cannot support such a development. There are little local services - GP and school will be oversubscribed. Not served well by local shops. The road itself is not well suited to the volume of traffic this will cause. The junction with the A140 is dangerous already and at least one child has been hit by a car within the village this year. Extra traffic and parking on that road will make it very unsafe for children (as it is the pavements are already often blocked by parked cars)

Newton Flotman does NOT have a 'good range' of facilities as listed in the 'form & character' section. We had a shop, recently closed. The GP surgery is part time and not linked to the online services that the practice use in Long Stratton. The restaurant mentioned is NOT in Newton Flotman. Bus services are non existent in the evenings.
Access to the A140 from Flordon Road is already difficult, additional development will make that worse.
Roads near the proposed site(s) are narrow and it is unclear how access to those sites will be achieved.

This development will cause excess traffic that the road can simply not cope with. We can not get drs appointments now but will be even worse with lots of extra people residing in the village. We have 2 play areas on the state whose safety will be compromised with so much extra traffic.

Alan Avenue is already very busy with traffic on what is a narrow road anyway. To increase the number of dwellings will add to the problem! Local services in the village will struggle to cope with extra numbers (doctors, school). 30 new homes have already been approved, which is mistake in itself!

"New1" construction hasn't started, the impact of this should be realized before approving more. This allocation shouldn’t be considered in isolation, need to look at surrounding villages for full impact
Inferior GP provision with NewtonFlotman closed, only dispensary. LongStratton struggling and already at capacity. Mulbarton publicly admitted struggling. Concerns with sewerage, the pumping station regularly needs pumping out. Drainage a common issue during heavy rain.
Dangerous Flordon Road/A140 junction unable to cope with current traffic volume. No engagement with Highways and ParishCouncil since 2019. School is already at capacity with temporary classrooms. The infrastructure needs to be in place first.

Totally object to this development! Newton Flotman does not have enough amenities to support this.
The a140 is already such a busy and dangerous road, the junction here has already seen so many accidents and deaths! Alan avenue is such a narrow road with cars parked on the pavement all the way up, wide work vehicles will physically not be able to get up! To add another junction onto this road is totally beyond belief!
The wildlife we see on these greens? Some being protected species, what is in place for them?
No pedestrian route on the Flordan rd!

Do not increase current settlement limit. Additional housing would add burden to current infrastructure, to sewers, with water directed to drains rather than soak aways, affecting aquafers, reducing pervious surfaces supporting natural drainage, increased flooding, standing road water. Degredation of rural/agricultural land, consequential environmental, ecological and economic damage. Government are committed to the protection, conservation and enhancement of green belt land, except in exceptional circumstances, the development of this area isn't 'exceptional'. Greater demands on rural roads, additional traffic accidents (particularly Flordon Road/Ipswich Road junction), and utility networks, already be operating at capacity, overburden on GP and dental practices.

The impact of 'NEW1' is currently unknown and requires careful consideration before approval of additional sites.

Potential impact here can already be gleaned from looking at experiences in nearby villages which have recently experienced problems with GP capacity in Long Stratton and Hethersett to which this can only add. Additionally, the village primary school has no additional space with temporary classrooms installed following the last major expansion still in operation.

Increased traffic volume is a major safety concern on Alan Avenue and A140/Flordon Road junction which is already dangerous. Heavy rain already causes drainage and sewerage issues in the vicinity

I do not agree with any changes. Newton Primary school is already at capacity and can not cope with a larger catchment area. We already have to send our child to Hempnall Primary and our doctors is not local as we can not use the facilities in the village as they are struggling to cope. There is also the environmental impact with is something I’m strongly in favour of doing something to prevent climate change. Our sewerage can not cope in heavy rain and regularly has to be pumped due to current usage.

Overall, the Parish Council object to any further development in the village until the necessary infrastructure is put in place including adequate doctors’ provision, school capacity, drainage and sewage.

The 'form and character' refers to the to the A140 through Newton Flotman as a ‘by-pass’, the Parish Council disagree with this description.

Alan Avenue is unlikely to support the additional vehicles safely that would be generated by the construction traffic. This is particularly noted given two play areas are directly on route to the development entrance, hence the safety of the children using those areas could be compromised. Long term, with only one access road to the new proposed area the safety of current residents will present problems given the additional traffic new homes will generate. As mentioned by other objections, Alan Avenue is not easy to navigate as it is now; let alone with further developments being added.

I think Newton Flotman is already an over-subscribed and under-resourced area. The GP surgery and the school are under pressure. The nearest shop for main grocery shopping (other than a corner shop for milk and newspapers) is either the Co-op in Mulbarton or Tesco in Harford. This area is already overstretched. Your reason for not building in Swainsthorpe because it is pretty is, quite honestly, a kick in the posterior to residents of Newton Flotman,

Lived in the village 46 years and no longer feel safe walking due to current traffic and people parking on the paths. It is an accident waiting to happen. Developers make broken promises and make no improvements to roads. A140 / Flordon Road junction is dangerous with the added hazard of cars on the streets. There are no facilities in the village. GP over stretched. School is full, had Portacabins for 16 years. We don’t need anymore houses. Our roads can not take them. With more houses at Long Stratton where are the children going to high school.

Concerned about the increased traffic flow into Alan Avenue, both during construction and once houses are built. The entrance is already highly congested and the street struggles with on road parking, making pavements and roads congested and dangerous. The entry onto A140 from Flordon Road is unsuitable for the level of traffic using Flordon Road and increased traffic from developments would create further concern.
There are insufficient school places and limited amenities - I fail to understand the relevance of a motorbike shop and stage school to the application since they are not amenities used by most of the village.

Regarding the potential plans to build extra housing on Alan Avenue, Newton Flotman, I am concerned that Alan Avenue itself cannot cope with more traffic. The entrance of the road from Flordon Road is very narrow, curved and steep. Many residents park their cars on the road which limits the amount of cars that can pass at one time which would be made worse with significant extra housing. If the road had been designed differently then extra housing may not be an issue.

Concerned about traffic on our narrow road and the resulting damage to it with mud and heavy traffic . The infra structure is all ready beyond capacity and hollow promise to improve won’t help . Pollution from the on going work will impact on my poor health considerably. More cars will park on pavements hindering footfall and causing worry for our children . Sewerage and drainage is very much a huge worry . Already we have issues from up the hill . What if I need 999 access.

Insufficient local infrastructure to support the additional demands that 55 dwellings will add. 25 from SN4024 and 30 from NEW1. The access to both of these sites is via the top end of Alan Avenue, which is not suitable for another 110+ plus vehicles due to it's blind bends and width.

With no other reasonable entrance road available this site should not go ahead.
