This is a terrible intrusion into open countryside, outside the local plan which is just another example of developers not caring about boundaries put there to protect our green spaces.
I strongly object to this proposal on the following grounds:
1) There are nothing but narrow roads around there. Which are increasingly being used as rat runs, since approval has been given for HUGE developments in Poringland itself. The roads simply cannot support another increase in traffic as things stand. You only have to go down Brickle Road or Chandler Road, and look at the way vehicles have carved muddy passing places every 50 yds or so, to see how bad the problem is.
2)There are no cycle or footpaths connecting the proposed development with the 2 local schools in Lower Stoke and Framingham Earl. A big pedestrian/cyclist hazzard
3) Hasn't the area suffered enough? The housing has increased by nearly 30% in nearby Poringland and Lower Stoke.
4) The impact on GP Surgeries, sewage, drainage etc is not sustainable.
5) There are serious surface drainage problems already experienced at the bottom of Brickle Road, which will only be exacerbated by more tarmacked or paved areas.
6) The prime agricultural land which has always backed onto Brickle Wood has acted as a natural protection for wildlife in the Wood. There are still cuckoos, nuthatches and green woodpeckers in there, not to mention the occasional deer. All this and more would most likely be lost with a further urban encroachment.

For the sake of the local community, and the local wildlife and countryside, please just stop this application going ahead NOW.
