Representation Summary:

This is not the right area of the village, limited access and close proximity to the factory will have a negative impact on the future residents.

The proposed access to property development via Grange Road or Peregrine close does not provide sufficient access, both roads are small residential roads, which has no suitable access for large construction veicles without causing significant disruption to existing houses along both roads.
Small children play together in the relative safety of Peregrine Close under the supervision of their parents as the main road is too dangerous for them to cross, opening up the close to an access road wil prevent the children from enjoying time with their friends safely.
Grange Road is privately owned and the existing residents are not happy that access wil be via their road, which means Peregrine Close would be considered. as a resident of Peregrine Close I am not happy to have the extra traffic that 20 houses will provide, parking for new properties will be limited possibly resulting in people from new development blocking our road with their cars or their visitors cars.

The drains for Peregrine Close block frequently resulting to dynorod/anglian water being called out 3 to 4 times a year, 20 new dwellings will put further strain on the existing pipelines.

The infrastructure of the village does not support 20 new dwellings, the local school is near to capacity from surrounding villages children, there are no amenities in the village such as a shop or doctors surgery, both Acle and Brundall GP surgeries are at capacity and are not taking new patients on, the nhs dentist at brundall has an extensive waiting list (I have been on said list for 3 years)
Limited public transport, bus service only runs a couple of times a day to Great Yarmouth and Wroxham, whilst there is a train station the trains at peak times are already overcrowded.

The area of proposed development is low lying resulting in surface flooding every year with poor drainage.
The close proximity of the factory does not make this an ideal site for development due to noise and light pollution.

The affect of building works on the proposed site will have an impact on the local wildlife, for example a large herd of red deer reside in the small woodland on the farm field next to the area to be developed.
The current buildings to be demolished potentially used asbestos in the buildings, safe removal and disposal would need to be considered to prevent risking the loval enviriment and the health of the workers performing the demolition.
