REJECT this proposal due to:
1. Flooding at most all sites due to high water table in the village,
2. Most all services (e.g. sewage, electricity) barely able to cope with existing population,
3. Virtually no 'social' infrastructure - e.g. no shops, no Post Office, only one pub, Village Hall, Junior/Primary school, and church,
4. Very poor road links and capacity,
5. Very poor public transport links - and nothing that would support commuting into Norwich,
6. Contrary to current Village Plan,
7. No number of properties proposed,
8. Loss of valuable and much-needed farming land in a rural location,
9. Site access would probably have to be onto the Frettenham/Buxton road as the Hainford road infrastructure - especially at this location - insufficient to support much new development. (The Frettenham/Buxton road also unlikely to cope with a great increase in housing).
