Development of proposed site would be highly inappropriate due to several constraints:
Flooding - site is sloping and on high ground, meaning it would cause similar and worse flooding to lower lying land and houses as seen with the 'Hops' development nearby.
Safety - road/traffic speed and curves mean this would be a dangerous place to create side roads or increase traffic.
Industry - land is opposite a designated industrial and employment site, and creation of large amounts of residential development could endanger the future of local economy.
Conservation - areas of this land are designated conservation sites which prohibit development. Land forms part of the view upon the approach to Hingham form the East, which is protected in by-laws which were observed in the planning process for the 'Hops', and would create a corridor approach to Hingham which would permanently alter the aesthetic of a historic town and damage tourism, and thus employment, both present and future.
Impact - development of this site would disproportionately disrupt, inconvenience and impact the East side of the town, which has tollerated the visual change, noise and debris of the 'Hops' for the past 2.5 years.

Hingham likely to require 50 further homes in the next phase, and this site is oversized for the allocation and so should not be considered an option. Homes on this site would also be a considerable distance from the town centre, with no safe cycle or pavement access.
Hingham's local resources, including doctors surgery and school, are close to capacity and a development of this size would create an unsustainable overcrowding of facilities.
