We already had our cluster allocation with 22 houses being built on a site that stated only 10 should be built.

3. Flooding: with climate change and loss of agricultural land due to the retail development nearby this is a major issue. Flooding events are happening far more often than predicted and in any event predictions say without intervention Gillingham along with masses of this area will be under water as close as 2030. T

4. The school in Gillingham is at maximum capacity and doctors/dentists are to.

5 Traffic issues. Getting out on my road is already dangerous and there have been several accidents at the junction of Loddon Road, Gillingham and the A146. The proposed site is very near two narrow 90 degree bends.

6. Proportionately this is not a small number of houses. In 2011 there were 294 houses occupied by 676 people.

7. Character of village has already been damaged by a retail area that already detracts from the beauty of the village with a Conservation area, The Broads and the other sites of interest nearby. Further building will constrain the area for wildlife even further.
