I live on Peregrine close and I don't think the proposed development provides sufficient access.The road is a single carriageway, which has no suitable access for large construction vehicles without causing significant disruption, nor will it be suitable to have another 20 or more cars having to come up and down it. I feel we will often be blocked in.
The lorries from the factory constantly speed past Peregrine Close, which is already a danger to my children who have only the little island there to cross, I feel more traffic will only make it even more hazardous.

The drains for Peregrine Close block about 3 or 4 times a year, 20 new dwellings will put further strain on the existing pipelines.

The infrastructure of the village does not support 20 new dwellings, the local school is near to capacity from surrounding villages children, there are no amenities in the village such as a shop or doctors surgery, both Acle and Brundall GP surgeries are at capacity and are not taking new patients on, the nhs dentist at brundall has an extensive waiting list. Our appointments have been cancelled the last few months due to the (3rd) dentist (this year) leaving and them being unable to find another one.

The area of proposed development is low lying resulting in surface flooding every year with poor drainage.

The close proximity of the factory does not make this an ideal site for development due to noise and light pollution.

The affect of building works on the proposed site may have an impact on the local wildlife, for example a large herd of red deer reside in the small woodland on the farm field next to the area to be developed.

The current buildings to be demolished potentially used asbestos in the buildings, safe removal and disposal would need to be considered to prevent risking the health of the workers performing the demolition.
