I object to the planning proposal reference 2017/2652 for the following reasons:

1. Safety - Possibly up to an extra 200+ car journeys per day on unsuitable roads. Long Road is the main connection to Norwich has a poor surface with no street lighting. The exit from Burgate Lane to Hall Road also has poor visibility and street lighting.
2. Access - Main access onto country lane where pedestrian footways may not be adequate? Plus there is no pedestrian solution for those walking towards Alpington.
3. Ancient Hedgerows being destroyed which provides irreplaceable habitat for the wildlife in and around the site
4. Site is outside defined boundary of village.
5. Consultation process - No public consultation, only 380 leaflets to selected households while the development will have major impact on whole of Poringland and Framingham Earl.
6. Density -Level of density approx. 2.5 times more than nearby properties. Approx. 12+ per acre so will not integrate into surrounding area. This is the density level of an urban area development but in a rural environment.
7. Local Services - Many other planned dwellings in the area are yet to be completed. The Local Primary School cannot expand further children may need to be driven to Alpington (is Burgate Lane beyond the site suitable for increased traffic?).
8. Drainage (surface) - Is current ditch system adequate for known local drainage problems? Subsoil is heavy and flooding has occurred in parts of the current ditches in the past who takes responsibility for this in future? Part of this ditch further down is a noted flood risk area by the Environment Agency.
