The Policy assessment highlights the implications. It does not address the ecological aspects such as impact on the wild life inhabitants in the trees, hedgerow and adjacent land. There is a colony of bats that utilise these trees which need consideration and management.
Further along the hedgerow badgers and other wildlife populate the location.
The exiting water pipe has frequent failures between its source and the village. Upgrades to both this and the sewage network which has failed at the rear to New Inn Hill/Green Lane in recent times.
Provision to safely access the site needs review.
The impact and suitable mitigation would be required depending on ecological survey. Protection of the trees and wildlife would need adopting by a developer.
Suitable access identified to the highway to prevent potential incidents.
Development to be linear in line with existing village profile. The height, number and location needs to be identified to prevent impact on Yare valley views and surrounding valleys.
