- No suitable footway for parents taking young children to schools
- Local Doctors at Aylsham and Horsford are already at capacity

We are in objection to this development, as it will cause increased traffic flows through a rural, quiet country single track lane which has numerous passing points throughout it's length. The building plan is set in the rural outskirts of Hevingham and will not add to building the Hevingham village community as the planned houses will be 1 mile from Hevingham outskirts, and therefore it is likely that people will drive rather than walk. Cycling around here is hazardous. To get to the village from The Heath, you either need to drive up to the main road to the A140 (1.5 miles) plus a further 0.5 to enter the village road, or alternatively to use the single track lane which runs past Avenue Farm, which is covered in mud and manure. Not a suitable footway for parents taking young children to the schools, more than a mile away. Finally, the local Doctors facilities at both Aylsham and Horsford are already at capacity. A site should be found next to the main village, as this would provide further justifications for more facilities in the village.
