strain on local services :- Schools ,Doctors
This is already a dangerous junction,having a site here could cause more accidents
How can planning get passed on agriculture land ,we need to keep our countryside
Having a traveller site will make local house prices decline
Cost of maintaining the site ,who will this be down to ?
I strongly object to the proposed traveller site at North Burlingham . The site will be situated close to a very high risk accident site and having travellers living here and accessing the A47 could cause even more accidents.
The local schools are already all full so how do you propose to take more children in ? and if they are intitled to school transport again this site is situated in a very high risk accident site.
The doctors are at full capacity ,you have trouble getting an appointment so this will put more of a strain on local services.
A lot of North Burlingham is Green belt land and shouldn't be built on and we need fields for crops ,soon there will be no green land as everywhere seems to be getting built on and spoiling the countryside which we love and want to keep.
Who if this goes ahead actually funds this and also covers the cost for maintaing the site ,is this something that local people will have to pay for through their council taxes ?
Is there any restriction on size of the plot ,can it be expanded in years to come ?
Also for people living locally having a travellers site could really lower the value of propeties close by
