We object on the basis of:
Traffic and safety concerns around the school
The road is too narrow
The village lacks the amenities for an increased population
Capacity issues at primary and senior school
Noise pollution
A flood analysis would need to be carried out as the road is on a slope and run off flood water drains towards houses lower down
I don't think this is a particularly good location for new housing. School road is very narrow and could not take an increase in traffic without widening. This would impact the existing residents.
Bressingham does not offer much in the way of amenities (which is the beauty of the village). New housing would create demand for new amenities. The local village primary school would potentially struggle to take increased intake without significant investment. The nearest senior school is in Diss and there may be capacity issues here too. In addition the additional traffic would have an impact on all and spoil the character of the village.
