The current project in School Road, directly opposite the school, has obviously been rubber stamped by someone with limited planning experience, and with scant regard for the safety of the pupils that attend the school.
The modern trend of parents dropping off and collecting children causes chaos along this road, especially when a bus or Lorry is trying to pass.

Lorries exceeding the weight restriction use this road regularly

Once the Houses are built, the entry and exit of vehicles from this development will prove to be an extremely hazardous manoeuvre for Local Residents, School Children, and their Teachers.
We do not want developments of this nature in our village.

Little Melton is a village with extremely limited resources, very soon we will no longer have a village shop.
Villagers have to travel to Hethersett to visit a Doctors surgery, this surgery is full to capacity with patients, that's before all the existing building in the area is completed.
If you require an NHS Dentist you have to travel out of the County, there is no spare places available locally.

Once all the local building projects are completed the village will have contributed 110 houses, this figure is way above the Local Plan requirement of 10- 20.
