Access - which is narrow with a poor vision splay and line of sight especially with parked vehicles on the street and with regard to GNLP 2063 and GNLP 2061 the congestion on the street is not good at present and the increase cars would make this road even more unsafe.

Utilities - Sewerage is a main concern and it has been brought to our attention at the last Parish Council Meeting that we are up to capacity which poses a real risk to The Staithe

There are many pieces of wildlife that live and hunt in these fields which will be endangered within the village due to the increased tarmac and housing and loss of hunting areas.

Increase in houses will almost double the size of the village if all go ahead which is unacceptable with the current services and facilities which would require a major investment from the council to make the village viable for all the new residents and their transport needs - potentially every house will have 2 cars therefore each proposed site will bring 50 plus cars thus making it more dangerous for the parents and children trying to cross the road to School lane with no official school crossing. The increased traffic along a commonly used cycle route will be dangerous for cyclists and will increase chances of accidents and fatalities.
The bus service is inadequate for the links of the village and doesn't go to Loddon for a more widespread route. The increase cars due to the poor access to the A146 at Loddon means that the road is used as a "rat run".
