The Sustainability Appraisal Report notes that Gillingham is favoured over Geldeston & Stockton for reasons of Accessibility, which appears to be related only to having the Primary School located within it. Other services such as secondary schools, doctor's surgery, retail etc are very similar for all three sites. Gillingham Primary School is over-subscribed, so cannot cater for any additional pupils. Other local services also cannot cater for additional people such as Beccles Medical Centre which states that this development would have an "unsustainable impact" on their service in their response to the 2022/193 planning application that covers the GIL1 site.
