Re policy GNLP5014 consultation on plan for gypsy and traveller site at A47 North Burlingham junction.

I object to this proposed site because of the increasingly dangerous junction at the location. In the 35 years we have lived in the area, the volume of traffic has increased hugely making either joining the A47 at that point, or crossing it to return home, treacherous even at less busy times. Increasing traffic, particularly with more large vehicles such as caravans, would inevitably increase the danger at what is already an accident black spot. I note that the proposal suggests that the site would only be formed once proposed improvements are made to the road which is welcome but would need to be an absolute minimum requirement. In addition, there is the issue that, during the ‘campaign’, sugar beet lorries use the B road to get to Cantley sugar beet factory. This already presents a danger on these roads. I have been the victim of beets falling off overladen lorries onto my car. On one occasion I was extremely lucky not to have been killed or seriously injured & even luckier that my children were not travelling with me on that occasion.

This area often floods - what mitigation has been considered for this? I cannot find any details relating to this in the proposal. I am pleased to see that the impact of noise and pollution from the busy road on the site residents has been considered and that mitigations have been suggested. Would these be a requirement? Are there sufficient services in the area? Sewage, water etc. I am sure this has been considered but, again, is not set out in the consultation document.
