This is a greenfield site that is outside the development boundary.
The access to the site is narrow and has poor visibility. Visibility improvement at the junction with Church Road would be required due to traffic coming from the A143 road, including buses and lorries from the Ellingham Grain Store. Parents park along the road to take and collect children from the school. It is dangerous now having up to 50 additional cars from proposed 25 houses would compound this problem.
There would be implications of further flood risk to carriageway due to extensive concrete bases of the houses.

The visibility at the adjacent bends and the junction with Church Road is dangerous at present. The possibility of 50 + additional cars using this access to the site would only make this worse. There is flooding on the bends and up to and including the site entrance which has had numerable attempts to resolve this with no success.

KCEPC believes the plan is unsound because it does not fulfil the objective “to protect village communities and support rural services and facilities” because there was no indication that wider services would be improved, and specifically that the village’s arterial highway was already considered by residents not to be fit for purpose, especially around the junction with Mill Road. The 2023 site assessment document gives an NCC Highways score of Red, but for some reason the site score for this section is given as Amber.

Mill Rd, inadequate width in many parts for large vehicles, buses , lorries, vans to pass without mounting the path or existing verge.
At the West of Mill Rd near sharp bend before the school heavy surface water still accumulates after heavy rain. Symptomatic of inadequate drainage.
A dangerous blind bend before junction where buses etc frequently mount pedestrian pavement at short notice when meeting oncoming traffic which is also hidden by the large hedge of playing field especially when hedge is in leaf.
Lack of pavement continuity throughout Mill Rd.

The access from Mill Road is totally unsuitable. It's the main road through the vilage, it's near a sharp blind bend and has regular flooding. There are buses, and cars, especially ones carrying young children to the local school that are using this bit of road every day. There are cars turning round on the Church Road/Mill Road junction and cars that are parked on the blind bend itself, for the play area. The road turns into a river with reasonable rainfall, and cars have to drive through the village instead.
