Representation Summary:

Intrusive and visible to Broads landscape and lacks supporting infrastructure plus risk to flooding and pollution of Broads.

Full text:

This development in a very visible site overlooking the Broads National park is intrusive and inappropriate. Further there are not the infrastructures to support such a development. The roads access plan has restricted visibility and would result in serious congestion in a village already struggling with parking and cars. The land would drain into a marsh and beck which is subject to regular flooding already. The sewage system would not cope with the additional house resulting in risk of pollution to the Broads and surrounding drainage systems which support the grazing land and wildlife areas. Including county wildlife site.
The local school is at capacity and could not take additional growth. There are very limited transport links currently 3 aDay.
There has been creeping ribbon development in Rockland which now extends nearly to Claxton Corner and Bramerton in the other direction. This destroys the countryside both visually and ecologically.
All developments which have infrastructure consequences must be funded by the developer and add value to the neighbourhood not destroy.
