I was very disappointed to see the plans for further houses to be built on Stocks Hill, Bawburgh.

Stocks hill is already a busy road. Bawburgh has very few, if any, public transport options. The roads out of the village are treacherous for pedestrians. This means residents in the new houses will have to have cars to live in the village, further adding to the traffic problem.

I note the fragile nature of the sewage system and problematic drainage further down the hill. There have been several occasions when sewage has been noted to pour from the drains, further down the hill, over the last few years.

Last year saw some of the worst flooding in Bawburgh I have known in 40years. My understanding is that further development adds to issues of fast water run off and thereby contributes to the flooding.
