The site is outside the development boundary.
The site is on the corner of an uneven slope with a number of blind sharp bends with no safe access or egress. There is a pond at the top of the site that always flood over and water cascades onto the road, runs to the corner causing regular long term hazardous flooding causing the overspill to cascade down Run lane resulting in road damage and danger to road users especially during icy conditions.

I already have concerns over the speed and volume of traffic leaving and approaching the village through this area. An increase in car ownership arising from further development would increase risk.

The road is not suitable and was constructed many years ago with a lot less traffic, vehicles have grown in size (HGVs now 2.6m wide 18+M long, Busses 12m long and farm machinery taking the two thirds or more of the road)and volume. It is noticeable that the roadside verges are being pushed back by large vehicles exposing the road edge causing pot holes and damage. We have seen an increase in vehicles from the Loddon area who use this route to avoid the now congested A146. The road is on a recognised cycle route which is in regular use. We have seen an increase in Van deliveries from home delivery and supermarket deliveries.
We are in a rural farming community.


My conclusion is that this is not a viable site for development.
