Problems with sewage which is controlled by Hopkins Homes and after 5 years has still not been handed over to Anglian Water.
Problems with foul smells coming from drains during hot weather.
Suggested access road into Harrold place belongs to residents and suffers from traffic congestion issues during school closing times with parents parking on Long Lane and on the access road into Harrold Place
Designated building area prone to flooding, gardens adjacent to site have had serious flooding and there was a large pool of water for a few months in field at right hand side of entrance
If development proceeds, access road should be via roundabout at Broomefield road entrance for the following reasons - Harrold Place entrance gets heavily congested at school times with parents parking in entrance to Harrold Place causing access and exit difficulties for residents, more traffic coming this way would would increase traffic problems.
A roundabout at the entrance to Broomefield would slow down traffic on Long Lane as there has already been some minor accidents at Broomefild Road exit caused by vehicles speeding down road from Poringland and also alleviate problems at entrance to Harrold Place.
Limiting the buildings to 1 storey would reduce the detrimental visual impact.
Reducing the number of dwellings would also alleviate the traffic problems on a already congested road.
