Such a development is out of proportion in relation to the number of
properties in the village. It will completely alter the character of what is a beautiful village to the detriment.
The proposed development is outside the development boundary for the village, which will set a precedence for further development ensuring the destruction of the village and it's rural nature and feel.
There is no requirement for the village of Brooke to take on this number of
houses as I believe we have met our quota and gone beyond the required
amount.
The increase in traffic will increase pollution (given that more vehicles
will be on the road) and encourage people to drive through neighbouring small villages, such as Shotesham. Not to mention that the area is on a blind bend which will be very dangerous for cars pulling in and out of the development, children walking and cycling to school. I am doubtful there is even room for a footpath down what is a narrow road.
There are insufficient services in the local area to support the number of
people that may be expected to reside in said properties. Doctors
appointments in my local surgery(Poringland) are 3 weeks from the date of
booking and a simple blood test is 10 days! This, while they are still
building many more houses there, many completed ones are unsold. That will
only make matters worse.NHS England have actually stated that they are currently unable to meet the extra demand that will be placed on local doctors similar proposed developments.
The area is completely waterlogged for at least 6 months of the year and
adding more concrete and less natural drainage will exacerbate the issue.
See the site just north of Poringland that is flooded with just a small
amount of rain.
The negative effect on wildlife will be unacceptable as we are already
losing wildlife variety at an astounding rate. The area is currently inhabited by a large array of wildlife and birds, hares, deer, owls, buzzards etc. If we keep developing land like this there will be no where for these creatures to exist, which is shameful.

SUMMARY

This kind of speculative development is the blight of many communities and
should be stopped. This is a rural village and we would like it to stay
that way. Whilst I don't mind the village evolving over time with one or
two house built here and there this kind of development will destroy the
village.
