This site is known as to have serious flooding issues, the environment agency have previously objected to any development here.
The school car park and church would be negatively affected by any development on this site. There are several matures oaks that would have to be removed.
The current sewer system is unable to cope with the houses that already exist and it is difficult to comprehend whether the pipes/ pumping station can handle any more properties being connected. I remember two companies going bust when it was first installed, so the cost to update and increase capacity alone would be considerable and would make the cost nonviable as a project.
The site is outside of the development boundary and disproportionate to the size of Hainford as it currently stands and is in conflict with the Parish plan.
The site is again in conflict with Hainford's status of 'Other Village' which by definition stated in the GNLP still applies.
When commenting recently on a single dwelling proposal in the Grange Road 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."
Hainford lacks a suitable infrastructure to support this level of development, we constantly suffer power cuts, the sever system is always blocking, there is no real practical bus service for the working people, with the bus company already struggling to justify the service now. Your own policy suggests that there should be a pavement from all areas of the village to the primary school, which there isn't which is in conflict with the service village status you propose
The roads in and around Hainford lack the capacity to support increase traffic movement, being single track with passing spaces in most cases. Loss of rural amenity
