Proposed development would completely change character of village; current infrastructure would not cope with increased population and traffic; and access would be dangerous
- Road infrastructure inadequate for increased volume of traffic
- Access points to estate would be dangerous for volume of additional traffic
- Increasing the population of the village by 50% in one jump would totally change village character
- Village facilities are insufficient for this potential increase; e.g. doctor's surgery and school
- The proposed development is just above the Broads flood plain. The number of houses would significantly increase the amount of natural water runoff increasing the risk of flooding
- The village is a relatively dark sky area. The lighting from an additional 200 houses would destroy the night skies
- The proposed development would adversely affect local rare wildlife, e.g. barn owls, marsh harriers, cuckoos, cetti's warblers, herons, water rail, orchids, etc.
