The proposed development I do not oppose but the access using Alan avenue I do. The estate is an extremely bendy awkward Rd with blind corners & cars parked on the sides of the road so to throw in another 40 to 50 cars using it as a thoroughfare would be a disaster. This road was not deemed good enough 15 yrs ago let alone now plus the upset to the residents right next to the proposed entrance/exit. Plus the industrial traffic that would be up & down whilst building would be dangerous & very disturbing.

Concerns over access as there is only one access road, no through route for site deliveries. This could be mitigated by temporary access from the field parallel to Grove Way round to the proposed site/s rather than up Alan Avenue. No indication of how many houses on 'NEW 1' site- that needs clarification. Good news for supporting serivces - school/pre school.. Shame no mention of the village shop and church who facilitate the outreach post office in the village. Wha tsort of plannign giain would we get - access to Smockmill Common from across the A140? More footpaths?

Alan Avenue is not suitable for the size of vehicle that will be required by the Construction of these proposed houses. It is difficult enough to navigate up Alan Avenue on a normal day.

Additional traffic entering/exiting Flordon Road/Ipswich Road is a hazard. The junction is an accident hotspot, additional traffic will increase this. I live at the junction where the Flordon Road meets Ipswich Road, the additional traffic/noise from the original Alan Avenue development has adversely impacted me. Entering/exiting our of my property is terrible. There are established trees/bushes/wildlife which will be destroyed, including slowworms, bats and protected species. Alan Avenue is too narrow to accommodate work traffic, and additional car use that will come with additional housing. It contradicts DEFRA 25 year environment plan and Norfolk's Environment Policy to protect wildlife/plants/community wellbeing

Completely object with this development right across our private driveways Alan ave disturbance and damage to wildlife and nature nesting. Already busy estate with high pedestrian usage to park village hall schools and walks so this is added danger and hazards! with an already dangerous a140. Struggle to get out most days,We thrive as a small village we cannot cope with extra population schools doctors already full!More vehicles causing damage to environment and residents health! Winter months it’s almost unusable and hazardous due to not gritted, too many vehicles as it is, this access is delusional to say the least

.A140-dangerous junction
.Wildlife-protected species
.Severe Flooding from existing fields
.high pedestrian route for access to village hall/playing field
.alan Avenue is 20mph due to tight access especially on corners where cars cannot pass each other when road is only 4.7m wide and very dangerous in winter conditions
.local amenities will not cope ie doctors and school & shop
.drainage and utilities will be under more strain
.my driveway will be too small to park my van on which will mean I will have to park on road and will lose country views which Is why we bought here to start

There is no adequate access to SN4024. Alan Avenue is not suitable and was never designed for extra developments.
There is mature hedging and (protected) trees between SN4024 and NEW1. Planting new, immature trees is not an alternative to destroying mature trees.
Noise and particulate pollution concerns.
Concerns with sewerage capability and drainage from the site. There are already issues in the village which will be exacerbated by any new developments.
There is huge concern about the safety of pedestrians due to Alan Avenue being a narrow, winding road.
Wildlife will be impacted.

The village does not have adequate services to support such a development. We lack the school spaces and the GP surgery will be unable to accommodate an influx of patients. The increase in traffic will be significant and the roads are ill-equipped to manage this.

It is unclear how access to SN4024 will be achieved but should NOT be via Alan Avenue.
I am led to believe that access to the already approved site NEW1 is supposed to be via Alan Avenue. This is completely absurd as Alan Avenue is already difficult to navigate for both pedestrians and vehicles, particularly in evenings and weekends.
There are mature trees and hedging between NEW1 and SN4024 which host a variety of wildlife including deer, foxes, partridge, pheasant etc.

As already stated Alan Avenue is already extremely busy with traffic on narrow road! More homes means more traffic! The existing road is not suitable to service another 55 homes! Local services (school and doctors) will struggle to cope with increased numbers! On top of this it will mean more traffic at the junction with A140, already a dangerous junction, more accidents will result!

No safe access from AlanAvenue. AlanAvenue cannot sustain more traffic, roads winding/unsuitable for additional cars/construction traffic.
Noise/dirt/disruption from construction traffic, already an issue with developer visits. Increased construction/traffic hazard to pedestrians/road users/children playing. Site gradient will add to drainage issues. Air pollution from dieselfumes and particulate matter (proven short- and long-term health effects) resulting from increased traffic
Site contains common lizards (UK Biodiversity Action Plan), slow worms (Wildlife and Countryside Act) and bats (Conservation and habitats species regulations). Contradicts DEFRA 25yr environment plan and Norfolk's Environment Policy to protect wildlife/plants/community wellbeing. "New1" impact should be realized before approving further plots.

Safety of residents on foot & driving (blind bends). difficult as it is to drive up and down with cars already parked on both sides of the road. With the added number of cars from the new development it will be even more difficult to reach my property without having to stop often to allow other cars to pass. Alan Avenue is not designed to take the increased traffic, especially when you are adding all the trade and delivery vehicles. Other services will be affected as well, such as GP clinic.

We strongly support the draft preferred allocation of this site, the development of which has no specific site constraints and is entirely deliverable. The land will be accessed from Alan Avenue through the development of the adjoining allocated site shown as NEW1 which is being developed by FW Properties. A high quality scheme will be progressed for this land comprising a wide range of house types and sizes. The early scheme plan prepared for the site confirms 25 dwellings can be accommodated together with appropriate access and public open space. FW Properties believe that this development is a viable proposition.

All in all, I think this is a ridiculous idea with local infrastructure nowhere near suitable for this development. More greenland is taken pushing local wildlife into housing areas out of their comfort zones and something they aren't able to deal with. More deaths will occur on these ridiculous roads and I pray to God it isn't any of my family.

I do not object to the overall idea of houses put on this identified piece of land. The current proposed access via Alan Avenue is simply not a suitable solution. The road is densely populated and cars are constantly parked along the road making it near impossible for lorries and emergency vehicles to pass. This often leads to even cars having to mount the pavement to pass. A much more suitable access could be gained via the village hall and Grove Way which I understand is all owned by the same person.

With reference to site SN4024 and New 1, I strongly object for the following reasons: The access though Alan Avenue is totally unsuitable it already struggles to cope with the traffic already coming and going. 25 more cars as a minimum would cause chaos. This would cause more safety issues with the children’s play parks up Alan Avenue, with increased traffic and large building vehicles it’s an accident waiting to happen.
More vehicles trying to cross the A140 is also an issue, it’s already bad enough getting out and cause traffic to back up down flordon road a peak times.

Alan Avenue is a residential
Area that is currently pretty lined with cars and traffic goes quite fast along it. More traffic will likely lead to a higher chance of accidents especially of children who deserve to be able to walk to their local parks. Building vehicles etc used for the development could damage the roads. The drs surgery is already too busy and struggles to meet the needs of all its patients. The local school too would likely be stretched to cater for the needs of more pupils. This development would change the nature of the village for worse

Flordon Road us already congested with through traffic, cutting through to Wymondham via Hethel, these houses will add to the additional traffic, they will s also add to the traffic congestion and dangers from the village onto the A140. The bus stopping at a busy junction in Newton Flotman is a huge danger as traffic overtakes, potentially with head on collisions. Any traffic from Alan Avenue is going to add to these problems, this is before infrastructure has been considered.

The facilities such as school and gp practice are already at breaking point. Accessing from and to A140 from is already problematical with the current volume of traffic. Additionally traffic on Allan Avenue is impacted.by the restrictive width of the road, as a cyclist who uses this road I've had numerous near misses due to access and visibility issues.

Alan Avenue is much too narrow to cope with any more traffic as it already struggles . My car was smashed into by a large van which couldn't park or turn in narrow road. Also same part of road dustcart collided with neighbour's car.
I envisage cars parked on pavements resulting in danger to pedestrians including children walking to and from school.
No amenities in village only motorbike shop and dance school. No pub or restaurant
We have lots of delivery vans I.e Tesco etc due to distance from shops creating more traffic.

SN4024 proposition is simply unviable given further pressures this will create alongside NEW1.

There is no capacity on Alan Avenue to sustain construction and additional residential traffic; given single access/egress point, current road layout and number of vehicles parked on-street. Increased traffic volume threatens residents' health with excessive air pollution arising from diesel fumes/particulate matter (having proven short- and long-term health effects), as well as their safety (including those with sensory-impairments)

Wildlife on SN4024 (bats slow and worms) identified as 'priority species' by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee; therefore proposed development violates s.40 Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act, 2006.
