Both the proposed site are uphill from areas which have suffered recent flooding and would either drain into the water table or river which would contribute to further drainage or flooding issues.

The site on Bunwell Rd would place a new development in a 40 mph speed limit within the boundaries of the village and would be incompatible with road safety.

The affordable housing included should be housing which is suitable for purchase by housing associations and so is actually affordable rather than so called affordable housing being built which is actually too expensive for first time buyers or families with a lower income.

The site of Bunwell Rd would bring further traffic through the village and past the school which creates environmental and road safety concerns.

SN0444 This development is totally unacceptable in this area. The surrounding fields and ditches suffered significant flooding last Christmas. This caused neighbouring property to be unhabitable which is still the case whilst remedial work to water damage is rectified. This is further proof that the entire development is totally foolhardy.
