Already a lack of local amenities; the nearest GP is in Hethersett and already oversubscribed. The only shop in the village is due to close; public transport from the village into Norwich is infrequent and the school, which has an outstanding ofsted (largely due to its small size and teacher/student ratio) would be unable to support the extra families in its current state.

The local road network is already at capacity. School lane is dangerous as there is significant traffic and no speed restrictions, which is particulalry dangerous for children in the village walking to and from school each day.

Ecological surveys indicated in local reports suggest proposed development would lead to a loss of habitat.
