Reedham
Reedham is not a well connected village and on this basis further significant development of the scale proposed is a flawed concept which seems mainly to be based on the fact that its longterm underperforming Victorian and cramped school has capacity. This school is under-subscribed due to Reedham's remote location which does not attract working families. Further housing here, of the type suggested on large development sites, will necessitate increased car use in accessing employment locations some distance away on already congested and tortuous routes. Public transport which runs infrequently and at unsuitable times is not a viable alternative.
