1) This land is a flood zone, and I am concerned that development could alter the boundaries of this zone which could affect property insurance. Also winter flooding is an issue around King's Dam and there are concerns around water run-off from the development.
2) Traffic is also a concern. Additional houses will exacerbate existing traffic problems along the Street in Gillingham. Traffic from new development at Geldeston has also exacerbated this recently.
3) The School is already at capacity without the facilities to accommodate the existing 22 houses let alone a further 35. There are also traffic and parking issues here.
4) No additional capacity in local GP/dental surgeries. Beccles and Bungay are also expanding rapidly, placing additional strain on services.
5) Environmental impacts and the effect on the local wildlife and habitats, including additional noise and light pollution.
The development will have a negative impact upon the village as we do not have the infrastructure to support it.
