The Alpington School is already at capacity and cannot take more children without displacing those from out of catchment, which will cause issues with neighbouring villages.
The local health centres are also struggling to cope with the rapid increase in patients at Poringland, so more housing will exacerbate this issue further.
Similarly, there are no NHS dentists available anywhere locally. Assuming that the new homeowners have moved into the area from elsewhere, this will become an issue for them and for the NHS with emergency treatments.
Remove Alpington and Bergh Apton from the VCHAP. This cluster cannot cope with additional houses.
