The employment opportunities at the business park will not provide adequate employment for an additional 120 people at the average ratio of people per household in Norfolk. It is likely that public transport will need to be improved to serve development in the preferred area, and that considerable traffic management will be needed by Highways to manage additional private car journeys. Cycle paths will need to be included to maintain sustainable transport options north to Norwich and south to Beccles and Bungay,

The properties proposed are at the far end of the village from existing village amenities. There will
inevitably be a an increase in car journeys to use those amenities.
It is wishful thinking to assume the potential residents of this site will be employed at the local business park and even if they are, there is no footpath between the 2 locations so there would be an inevitable increase in car journeys

There is insufficient provision or access to services in many of the settlements within the “village clusters”, in particular from many of the preferred sites for new housing. The decision to allocate additional new housing beyond what is already allocated within the JCS is largely based on the existence of a primary school with available places or potential for expansion, for some clusters this is not the case with schools at or near capacity. This does not amount to the provision of ‘good access to services and facilities’ this level of new housing should not be permitted within the GNLP.
