The scale and position of the development is likely to:
* Irreparably damage the Tiffey valley wildlife corridor;
* Increase run-off and therefore the nature and extent of flooding (which is already an issue), both in the vicinity and downstream;
* Lack the necessary schooling and other facilities;
* Lack safe and viable cycling routes into Norwich;
It has been proposed that the world needs to double food production by 2050. Therefore, it would be prudent to minimise building on green-belt farmland until all brownfield sites and those with permission already, are exhausted.
