The proposal to build a housing estate of 25 homes does not sit within the ribbon development.
There are current issues with ditches and flooding which are not yet resolved. There have been continual drainage issues in this area and the drains are not fit for purpose.
SN0537 is within open countryside with established oak and ash trees, designated footpaths with views to open fields, with ditches for water run-off.
Concerns with unsuitable roads and speeding traffic.
No objections to other proposed sites within the village other than drainage, these proposals sit within the constraints of the village and do not impact on the environment.

Development of land near the school must be in-keeping with surroundings given that the Church is within its boundary. Safe access to the B1113 and the road safety of schoolchildren must be considered. The Turnpike boundary must represent the maximum possible extent of development at this time and must not represent the beginnings of the development of the whole site, as put forward in the LDF a decade ago and defeated 9:1 in a public vote. Extensive development of this site would break the naturally-established linear patterns of Bunwell’s settlements and create a nucleated settlement away from the village centre.

Support SN0537 - PR0VIDING that the total number of dwellings is gradual and eventually reached over a period of at least a decade; and includes the 7 properties currently under construction on the adjoining site to the west.
This reiterates the 2005 Bunwell Parish Plan which achieved a response of 78% of all Bunwell households.
316 villagers felt that "any further building development will spoil the Village".
211 villagers stated that "single dwellings in controlled locations would be acceptable".
182 preferred "affordable housing".
149 "no further new building".
I believe that research today would achieve a very similar result.
