The village is too small to sustain the number of dwellings and amount of development as outlined. The village itself does not have the infrastructure to support additional houses as there is no medical centre, school, local shop, pub etc. An increased population will put more pressure on current services ie the doctor's in Mulbarton and lack of local facilities means that there will be an increase in car use to access other local amenities, with resulting environmental damage. There is one main road through the village and this is inadequate for construction traffic and subsequent service lorries which will need to access the area. There are no local jobs so an increased population will inevitably result in increased traffic on the existing road network including the busy A140 junction which is already hazardous to both through A140 traffic and joining traffic entering or leaving the village. The proposed development encroaches on farm land and arable land is needed to ensure the country can feed itself (especially in the current political climate) so should be retained where possible. Finally, the village is a quiet, tranquil oasis in what is becoming and increasingly urbanised county. Brownfield sites should be urgently explored as Green Space is essential for general well-being and should be fiercely protected.
