Our school is at full capacity.

The site is within the legally binding Southern Bypass Protection Zone.

This site, at whatever size is totally unsuitable for such a tiny village. The character of the village will change and be destroyed for good. regardless of density the site is totally out of kilter. Here's why:

It's Greenfield.

It adjoins a Conservation Area.

it will totally destroy the beautiful, unspoilt views of the Yare Valley.

The river at the bottom of this site has flooded and broken its banks three times in three months, closing roads and flooding homes.

We have no bus route, forcing people into cars.

We have no shops, forcing people into cars.

Our school is at full capacity.

The site is within the legally binding Southern Bypass Protection Zone.

The site is on the crest of a steep hill and on a blind bend on a road that saw a fatal accident last year.

Please see common sense here. Bawburgh is a longstanding quintessential Norfolk village with 2 ancient monuments at risk of being washed away by flood water exacerbated by storm water run-off. Please don't destroy our village.
