I believe that the use of Cawston High Street for this application (and the previous one that Vattenfall had approved and others will also be making) is dangerous and will damage my property and endanger life. My house was built in 1780, designed for horses and carts. Cars hadnt even been considered, let alone massive heavy good lorries laden with soil and rubble. My house front wall stands within 2 mtrs of the road. The footings and foundations will not cope, my walls shake now when a lorry passes, the floors move. Masonry has already fallen from the roof because the Highways Dept hasnt fixed the road in over 20 years. I have asked many times, even now I have applications online that they ignore. The road is all broken up and causes lorries to shake additionally. Two people cannot pass on the path outside my house, they need to step into the road. Pushchairs have to use the road, dog walkers cannot keep their dogs safe. I honestly believe, and this is NOT frivolous, if permission is given to send hundreds of lorries along this road every day that my house will crumble and hurt someone. (redacted). Who will insure it? Who will be liable for this? Me? When it will be there actions? And then of course there is the corner that leads to the village hall near my house, a blind bend. Two lorries cannot pass on that road, the path is so narrow you cant walk along it. Lorries will climb the path to pass, they wont wait or slow down. This application is ridiculous, as it was with Vattenfall, but no one listens.
