Unsafe potential access road entering onto an already very busy village street with just one pavement shared with cars, children, cyclists, the elderly = TOTAL MADNESS!
Insufficient employment opportunities in the area, insufficient amenities, insufficient scope for making infrastructure even close adequate let alone fit for purpose. Cumulative affects of all these piecemeal developments surrounding Rockland St Mary and the linked villages will be largely negative and bad for future generations. Prime arable land should not be sacrificed for one-off profit. This development, and others like it in this area, is an extremely short-sighted idea and should be wholly rejected.
This potential site should be rejected!
This is an unsafe potential access road which would enter onto an already very busy village street with just one pavement shared with cars, children, cyclists, the elderly = TOTAL MADNESS!
There are no big industries in the area to support a substantial increase in population that all these developments will place upon an already creaking infrastructure. The narrow country road that links these villages to Norwich is poorly maintained and prone to flooding, nor is there any scope for widening along the route due to numerous physical restrictions. It is already very heavily used by extremely large agricultural vehicles and their machinery and the large tankers that frequent the sewage works and I would say that it is just too dangerous and to add yet even more cars and vans etc that will come from all these developments just beggars belief.
Greater consideration needs to be given to the cumulative impact of developments on all the communities. Farmland is needed for food production and development should be focused from within Norwich and along the Norwich Cambridge tech corridor. Farmland is needed for food production both now and in the future Development should be focused into Norwich and areas with better access and infrastructure.
