Respondent: Mrs Kate Brolly

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

35 houses will significantly increase traffic through the village on an already busy road, and over Grade 2 listed bridge.
Entrance onto Stocks Hill will be on a brow of the hill, increasing risk of accidents.
Drainage is poor throughout the village with ground water flowing down Stocks Hill during heavy rain and sewers backing up.
No amenities in village apart from pub, school and village hall. School is oversubscribed and GP surgeries have waiting lists. No regular bus route through village means reliance on driving.
Bawburgh is a conservation area. 35 modern homes will have a negative impact.

Change suggested by respondent:

Similar scheme as St Walstan Meadow. Bungalows so not to impact on views and far less numbers of housing. 9 houses per hectare is recommended number.
