This site is outside the Settlement Boundary and would encroach on open countryside which is not sympathetic to the village character and shape. Additional housing in Burston would have a serious negative impact on the traffic flowing through the village along small country lanes and would also add to the congestion in Diss which is already a considerable problem. Access to the A140 through Burston would also be heavily increased along the Shimpling road and this is already over-used by traffic cutting through to Diss and the Mill. Public transport facilities in Burston are already minimal.

Public transport facilities in Burston are already minimal and under threat of closure.
