We object to the proposed Brooke development (GNLP2122) on this site for the multiple reasons detailed below.
* Access from High Green to proposed site GNLP2122 would be extremely dangerous as it is just as you are leaving the village and on a dangerous bend, so visibility of other traffic would be extremely poor
* Proposed development GNLP2122 is at the far end of the of the village and is away from the village centre and its main services - Post Office, farm shop, garage, pub, bus stop, school, village hall
* Any further development near High Green would add more traffic to this road. It is already used as a rat run for cars wishing to avoid traffic jams caused by Framingham Earl school in the mornings
* More traffic on High Green would pose additional danger to school children going to and from Brooke Primary School
* The site is used by bats, tawny owls, woodpeckers and other birds and so any development would be detrimental to nature.
* The fields and woodland at site GNLP2122 is also the home to other wildlife - deer, hares, barn owl
* The site shape would result in a very linear type of development, and would cause a greater impact on open countryside.
* Additional housing and roads on site GNLP2122 would create additional noise and disturbance to what is currently a quite area of the village
* Drainage of gardens within the Astley Cooper House and High Green development is poor, and so the drainage of the proposed site is also likely to be poor and cause problems to the existing developments
* The view across the fields from houses in Astley Cooper Place and High Green would be impeded by the development on site GNLP2122, leading to loss in value
* The school development on this site should not be considered as it is too far outside the village, meaning it is not very accessible and will be dangerous for those pupils needing to walk to school
