Being at the heart of the village and on the one busy single road through the village, the high volumes of different sorts of traffic converging at the entrance point to the site pose a danger to pedestrians and drivers. The site boundary vegetation provides a safe haven for wildlife to pass without being exposed in the fields. The drains and sewage system are stretched. Building into back land destroys the simple character of the village and takes out arable Grade 2 agricultural land.

This is outside the revised settlement limit. If granted planning permission it may set a precedent for further development on agricultural land, destroying the rural village charm. The Parish Council supports brownfield sites being developed before greenfield. Parishioners are against large commuter-type executive housing. The Orchids is not a precedent to accept more linear or back development. Parishioners feel strongly that Rockland St Mary has had its fair share of growth in Eel Catcher Close and the completion of The Orchids as part of Bee Orchid Way. The Parish Council does not accept any further revision to adopt site SN2064REV.

The Parish Council does not think that any of the rejected sites should be allocated instead of or in addition to the preferred sites for the same reasons put forward by the Parish Council in the original consultation and for the reasons that the sites were rejected by the South Norfolk Planning team.

Eel Catcher Close was (is) an exception site. A public assurance was given of no further development here. There are multiple traffic safety issues related to the site. It is extremely close to many sensitive environmental designations and within an area of rural tranquillity, natural beauty and importance to wildlife preservation. Development would effectively destroy a holiday business, obscure listed buildings, and be visible for miles around. There are significant ongoing issues with the sewage system at this end of the village. Being at the outer end of the village the use of cars to access key facilities would increase.
