Spur road is the main entry into the village for people travelling from Norwich. It is not wide enough for two vehicles to pass along most of it's length meaning the verges are already cut up.Introducing additional vehicles from this development of potentially 50 dwelling will compound the issue.
The northern end of the road always has standing water in wet weather and last year was closed for several days due to flooding. The highways department spent some time clearing drainage channels and ditches directly adjacent to the proposed site to rectify the situation. Without adequate provision for the loss of natural drainage on the site road flooding could be an issue.
Mains sewer built about 30 years ago was not intended to include the golf club which linked in a few years later. With all the proposed new sites together with small developments over the interim years and currently bankside in Bell Road is likely to seriously overload the system
