The development of the site would be a complete change to the character of the village which is almost exclusively of a linear nature. There is no mains gas in the parish. The mains sewerage system flows into a holding tanks one at the corner of Bonds Road, and Ram Lane. Another at the junction of Green Lane and Hall Road. Before pumping to Dickleburgh. It fails frequently and results in raw effluent backing up into the nearby properties, and into the land drainage ditches. Several properties currently use a Klargister system or septic tank. If and when the need to update the owners may take up the right to connect to the main sewer. Increasing its flow.

The access to the site currently is adjacent to the last bungalow on Green Lane. The lane is particularly narrow at this point and visibility is very limited. The site has a number of protected species in its habitat. These include but are not exhaustive great crested newts, owls, buzzards.

Whilst the site is within walking distance of the primary school there is no land available to create a pavement from the site to join the pavement on the recessed part of Green Lane where bungalows exist. There are no employers within walking distance. Listed buildings are adjacent and also nearby.

Traffic exiting the site would need to proceed along single track Green Lane for onward travel in any direction. 1 mile north to the junction with Station Road, ¼ mile south to junction with School Road and The Street. School Road reduces in width to single track as it progresses into Star Lane before reaching the junction with Station Road. The Street whilst two lane is narrow and with properties either side it does not have facility to widen or to have the provision of a pavement.
