Swardeston Parish Council makes the following submissions in respect of the South Norfolk District Council Village Clusters Plan.
VC SWA2 development will result in additional traffic entering and exiting the B1113 – now a major feed route into and out of Norwich, Swardeston sees in the region of 5m traffic movements on this road each year. Consideration needs to be given to a) controlling traffic speed through the village more than is being done at present, b) improvements to the junction of Bobbins Way/B1113 if VC SWA2 is to be accessed via that route. Comments regarding improvement of the pedestrian and cycle access between Swardeston and Mulbarton are welcome, as this would be necessary if such access of the Mulbarton facilities is to be encouraged.
