Stocks Hill is already a relatively busy road considering its location in a small village.

Bawburgh has no public transport going through the village. The roads out of the village to main roads with bus stops are treacherous for pedestrians.

The sewage system and drainage infrastructure on Stocks Hill has been shown to be problematic in recent years. Overflowing drains at the bottom of the hill, just down from the new housing development have been a common occurrence.

Since moving to Bawburgh 14 years ago I have seen many winters with extensive flooding around the village, which have caused damage to property. I am concerned that any developments on open farm land which acts run off during periods of heavy rain would increase risks of damaging flooding in the village.
