1) The school building is not fit for the number of students it currently holds. Part of the building is of temporary construction with no direct link to the main building. The building is very old and requires significant updating should it be part of the basis for additional housing. Mill Road can't currently cope with the traffic for the school.
2) The pavements are not wide enough and it is very dark so walking at night is dangerous. Children can't walk or ride to school safely so the only real option is to drive.
3) Woodbastwick Road is very busy with few people respecting the speed limit. The road is very dark and in poor condition, it floods regularly. The bus stop causes dangerous situations as it is when it parks at school time on the corner of mill road.
4) The village is not connected to other villages apart from by car; provision for walking and cycling paths needs to be made as part of any planning decision. There is only a small shop in the village, all other services are in Blofield/ Brundall.
5) The bus service is infrequent.
6) There is limited infrastructure for children in the village. The park needs to be improved significantly.
7) There is no play space planned for the GNLP1048 development.
8) GNLP1048 the local plan needs to define the maximum houses allowed on this site and not allow comments such as "More homes may be accommodated, subject to an acceptable design and layout, as well as infrastructure constraints" as this allows for development creep.
9) Permissive footpaths should be considered from this development to Hemblington from the back of the development across the fields to allow for safer access to Hemblington.
