1.The proposed development would impact on the setting of Hainford Hall

2.This area of the village is known for longstanding and continuing flooding and unresolved drainage problems.The site is on an area known to be subject to surface water flooding.The ditches nearby are over flowing. The sewerage capacity is known to be inadequate in this location.

There is. Widespread flooding throughout Hainford due to high water table and overflowing ditches.

It is current planning policy to direct development to areas with the lowest probability of flooding.

3.The site lies outside the Development Boundary.

4. The site is disproportionate to the status, size and aspect of the village.

5.. The site is in conflict with Hainfords status of 'other village' which by definition stated in the GNLP still applies.

6.. The Development would be in conflict with Hainfords Parish Plan.

7. Wider development in this location would be unsustainable due to lack of adequate infrastructure services,general facilities ,limited power supplies( reliance upon oil) electricity power cuts and lack of transport services to support this level of development. (when commenting recently on a single dwelling proposal in the Grange Rd area the Highways response was
"in regard to transport sustainability Hainford, which has very limited standard every day facilities is not Considered an acceptable location, the site is not connected to footway links which, in any case, are Sporadic in the village and public transport services are very limited. Accordingly the proposed Development will result in an over reliance of the private car contrary to sustainability objective
8.The narrow and winding rural lanes in this location are inadequate for increased volume of traffic and in many locations it is impossible for two vehicles to pass safely. There would be increased congestion at the junction between A140 and B1354(Waterloo Rd).Also potential congestion at the junction with Newton Rd and the B1354.
9. The Primary school is not accessible by definition as there is only one pavement running from Stratton/waterloo area. There are no pavements from the main settlement in the chapel road area to the South, nor from the West/ A140 Cromer Rd nor from the Eastern side of the village. The reliance being on the private motor vehicle for safe access to the school which is contrary to sustainability objectives
10.The Primary school is small and would not be able to accommodate increased volume of pupils generated If wider development were allowed on this scale

11. Loss of rural amenity-the site has landscape value.
