Representation Summary:

Access routes are unsuitable 1 is on the brow of a hill the other there isn't enough space for 2 vehicles a path and a splay onto The Street. The road is in a poor state of repair due to The Street not being wide enough for 2 vehicles to pass when vehicles are parked in lay-by. Facilities in the village are inadequate to cope with an increase of this size. Permission has already been granted for more housing at Bee-Orchid Way. Concerns regarding loss of habitat for wildlife, once our fields are built on we can't get them back.

As the owner of one of the houses next to the entrance of 1 of the proposed access routes (the 1 on the blind bend not the 1 on the brow of a hill!) I have concerns about how the foundations of my house and the barns nearby would cope with traffic coming directly past. The access next to my house isn't wide enough for 2 way traffic and a path nor is there enough room for there to be a splay onto The Street. This particular section of road is in a very poor state due to the road not being wide enough to pass when cars parked in lay-by opposite. The roads through the village aren't suitable for such an increase in traffic. The school is too small and access and parking is poor. The GP is only open part time , phone signal, internet, sewage system (due to flooding of raw sewage after heavy rainfall)and bus services are inadequate for a village of the proposed increase. Planning permission has already been granted for additional houses at Bee-Orchid Way and behind existing properties on The Street. I'm am also concerned about the loss of habitat for the wildlife. Once this land is built on we will never get it back. Also the impact on the wildlife at the nearby Staithe and marshes due to the increased traffic and noise pollution. To increase the village by 50% is out of keeping the surrounding villages.
