1. Overdevelopment of village; proposal is outside village boundary and would change the linear nature of village.
2. Detrimental effect on the character of the local area, not just RSM but also adjacent villages and hamlets. Would be a permanent change to the local area.
3. Scale of development would increase traffic on roads exponentially. Detrimental impact on the safety and quality of life of current residents would be significant, in RSM and all villages and hamlets on lanes that link RSM to Norwich or the A146 (not a GNLP designated Transport corridor).
4. Adverse visual impact on an area that is in close proximity to a National park and a SSSI, which attracts tourists (supporting local businesses).
5. Adverse environmental impact on an area that is rich in biodiversity; farmers and landowners are supported financially by the government to improve environment and habitat for wildlife, increasing biodiversity. A housing development of this scale in this location would destroy such habitats irreversibly.
6. Scale of development would not attract local businesses to tender for construction work.
7. Burden on local services, particularly healthcare.
8. Potential to dramatically increase flood risk.
9. Access to site risky.
10. National cycle route negatively impacted.
11. Further demand on already stretched utilities and infrastructure
12. Developments already agreed for the area at appropriate scale
