This is not an appropriate site for development for the following reasons;
-It is a long distance from the services in the village and from the main road
-It will increase traffic on High Green and in to Shotesham and Stoke Holy Cross as people try to avoid the rush hour bottlenecks in Poringland caused by the massive developments in Poringland.
-The road is bendy and unsuitable for an access road increasing the likelihood of accidents.
-There is already a problem with speeding traffic on this road. There is no footpath and constructing one would narrow an already narrow road also increasing the risk of accidents.
-It involves destruction of a wooded area and the wildlife habitats therein e.g. barn and tawny owls, deer and woodpeckers.
-There are many unsold houses in this end of the village indicating no need for more housing.
-Brooke has already fulfilled it's quota to build having already built 30 house when 20 were required.
-Increasing housing in Brooke will fundamentally alter the nature of the village turning Brooke in to part of the urban sprawl which is ruining our countryside and is at odds with the choices people make to live in rural locations .
-Both High Green and the field area are prone to flooding (the information in the submission is inaccurate) and building on this land would increase the risk of flooding for nearby residents.
-There will be a significant impact on residents on High Green and Astley Cooper Place who back on to this proposed site.
