1. Bawburgh is a conservation village and introducing 35 new homes changes the scale and character of this village.
2. If site is built then the land would extend eventually further to more houses and we would be in a huge estate.
3. Development would impact greatly on the village school which is always oversubscribed.
4. Traffic through the village has increased substantially and is used as a fast run from the Watton Road through to the Dereham Road, hence we have had to install speed cameras. Therefore, 35 houses with potentially two cars per house will further increase road traffic and pollution.
5. There are no local amenities in Bawburgh just one pub. No buses into Norwich each day, no shops. Doctors are completely overloaded and it's impossible to get an appointment.
6. Flooding and sewerage in the village is a problem and can only be made worse with new houses, and the proposed gypsy and travellers site as well.
7. I moved from Kent to this conservation village to retire. If I had wanted to live in a housing estate I would have moved there. I really do not want these 35 houses to be the beginning of such an estate and this is what I fear.
