Barford & Wramplingham Parish Council held two public meetings which were both very well attended with over 40 residents attending each meeting. The Parish Council created a Parish Plan in 2010 and the views of the residents within this are still valid and should be considered. Further concerns raised are as follows:
* Traffic - increased traffic with any development will be detrimental to the Parish which is predominantly served by narrow rural roads. There is no safe cycling route between the site and the main village centre.
* Pedestrian access - there are very limited footpaths in the Parish and no footpath from the site to the main village centre.
* There is a lack of facilities within the village and poor public transport links. This will increase the use of cars and commuting which will affect many other areas as well as our parish.
* Flooding - the run off surface water from this site would enter the Barford flood amelioration scheme which is already working at near capacity. Any increase in water would be seriously detrimental to residential properties within Barford village.
* Flooding - Barford sewage system is already at capacity as has been regularly demonstrated by sewage egress into residents' gardens.
* Any development in this area would ruin the open landscape nature of the Church environment.
