This proposed building site is totally unsuitable for development in that:
1. This is not a brown field site it is high grade agricultural land producing crops for many decades. From an environmental point of view it should be protected for present and future generations.
2. The majority of roads in Forncett St Mary are single track with no pedestrian pavements. The proposed site is adjacent to a narrow rural lane and any increased traffic flow or access would have a detrimental impact on the village.
3. There are no mains for sewage or gas supplies and other facilities are very limited.
4. It is adjacent to St Marys Church which is a Grade 1 Listed Building.
5.The proposed development will have an adverse effect on the view to and from the Tas Valley. Also it is not in keeping with the adjacent Conservation Area.
6. According to an old book in my possession, titled "The Economic Development of a Norfolk Manor 1086-1565" by F G Davenport, first published in 1906, this land is part of the site of the ancient Forncett Manor and a full archaeological dig may be required.
