Alpington is served by very poor single track roads from the A146, Berghapton and Poringland.
Slade Lane is partially dangerous, this is a singe track road and is the busiest access to the village. It has high banks and no official passing places, just unpaved areas that have been formed in the banks by traffic avoiding each other. Further development in the village would only exacerbate an already dangerous situation.
Church Meadow which will become the access to the proposed new housing estate is very often difficult to navigate due to parked vehicles, making emergency access often impossible.
Development of what is a peaceful rural field, surrounded by mature hedges and trees would disrupt and destroy an area which supports an abundance of established wildlife and is a natural boundary to the village.
Church Meadow is a completely unsuitable location.
