1. The site will visually damage the landscape. The Waveney river valley at Earsham is an attractive and unspoiled landscape; it is unlikely that any screening will be adequate to conceal 25 houses.
2. Loss of high quality agricultural land - the land in the area is regularly used to graze cows and sheep.
3. Loss of important wildlife habitats - the area is popular for bird watching and hosts a number of species at risk such as egrets, barn owls and bats. These species do not reside in hedgerows but are affected by artificial lighting and traffic.
