| 1. | In the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan Modified Deposit Version,
Policy Tcm16 states :-
In order to assist to maintain traffic in free flow on Corridors of
Movement comprising roads classified as trunk roads and principal routes,
outside the urban areas of Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, direct access to
these roads will not be permitted, and development served by side roads
connecting to such highways will be permitted only where it can be
demonstrated that the defined Corridors of Movement would not be
significantly adversely affected.
The proposal would result in additional slowing,stopping and turning
movements on a stretch of classified highway where the principal function
is that of carrying traffic freely and safely and would lead to added
conflict and interference with the passage of through vehicles on a stretch
of Principal Route,where traffic speeds are high,to the detriment of that
principal function and to the conditions of highway safety.Consequently the
proposal is contrary to Policy TCM16 which is reinforced by the Norfolk
County Council's policy to protect Corridors of Movement such as the
A1064 on which the site is situated,from development proposals outside
established development areas and local speed restrictions where highway
safety and traffic capacity would be adversely affected. |
