1.This is a site which can take a lot more than 12 dwellings and is disproportionate to the status ,size and aspect of the village it does not relate to and is not contiguous to the existing settlement..

2.Unsuitable location due to rural landscape setting.We have been advised that there are TPO's in force along this stretch of the road and a likely impact on wildlife in this area.

3.Part 2 of the site is an unsuitable location at the junction with Hall Rd with regard to traffic safety.

4. There is known flooding on these two sites and overflowing ditches with flooding on the junction with Hall Rd.The Hall Rd area of the village is known for longstanding and continuing flooding and unresolved drainage problems which are widespread throughout Hainford.
.It is current planning policy to direct development to areas with the lowest probability of flooding.

5. There have also been long standing issues with sewer capacity in the area of Stratton road causing problems with the pumping station and residents toilets overflowing.

6.The site lies outside the Development Boundary.

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

8. The development would be in conflict with Hainford's Parish Plan.

9. Wider development in this location would be unsustainable due to lack of adequate infrastructure services, general facilities, limited power supplies with a reliancee upon oil and frequent power cuts and limited 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
10. There would be a reliance upon narrow rural roads to access the site.
The narrow 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
11. 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
12.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.
13. we have been advised that the site is restricted to buildings or replacement buildings of an agricultural nature HOU9
