The proposed ~15% increase in housing/population for the village is unacceptable as it will stretch local services further, contradicting the criteria laid out in section A.5 “Planning policies should identify opportunities for villages to grow and thrive, especially where this will support local services”. Furthermore, the only services highlighted are a pub, a village hall and a primary school. None of these could viably be enhanced by the construction of these additional houses, contradicting SNVC objective 2.
Plan incorrectly states a daily bus service. There is in fact only a weekly bus to Wymondham.
Bawburgh does not have the required facilities or services to support this plan.
