The worry is that the environment agency are being consulted as in the past they have declined to discuss the issue with any parishioners moving forward

15 dwellings is too many and there should be no more than 10 at maximum

The development is proposed to be built on the lowest point causing flooding issues.
The road is not safe to walk along and never gritted.
We do not feel 15 homes is the correct number its too many
There are worries on the new housing development not keeping the natural environment
The local wildlife will be disturbed and not be able to use the habitat by the new development.

Ashwellthorpe and Fundenhall Parish Council object to the to the allocation on the grounds of flooding, the area not suitable and the inadequacy of the sewage system and need for a supplementary sewage pipe main drain in Ashwellthorpe to take the extra sewage and the need to upgrade the road due to how busy it is.

The new dwellings will be built on an area that floods every year and this must be dealt with before any new dwellings are built along with the pumping station being upgraded also before any further building takes place

I do think homes is too many
It an area that lies low and floods regularly
The worries on the extra traffic
The worries on lack of infrastructure
I rent the field next to the proposed development for sheep and the development would affect them

Flooding - since Wood Farm development, New Rd has suffered bad flooding to road and houses. If further development built on New Rd, it would prevent surface water running into fields - result being more water on the road and flooding houses again.
Road - New Rd is already used as through road from Wymondham to Tacolneston, with regular speeding. Road is narrow. Likely that excess cars from any new development would be parked on New Rd, either blocking road or blocking pedestrian access. Potential for accidents.
Number of houses - 15 houses seems excessive in the space suggested.
Infill - Village has already supported additional houses. No amenities and the local school is already full.
Climate change - site has number of old trees and hedges. Development should not impact these features or the village balance of nature.
Need for housing, in general, is understood. However, Ashwellthorpe has already received its share of recent development. Views and concerns of residents need to be listened to - the area proposed is not the right place for this type of development.

There is a major issues with the flooding as the field is low land and floods regularly due to the water table is too high
The current pumping station is not suitable for exiting homes and extra development would exceed capacity
Sewage problems and the lack non return valves.
Traffic issues with speeding and road safety and the lack of paths
The lack of notification and short time to consult with a lack of transparency for all parishioners

- Flooding risk in severe weather. Drains overflow into road, causing a river of water which flows into gardens.
- Small rural road inadequate for increase at certain times of the day. Cars speed along this road and the situation will be made worse by extra 15 houses.
- Road not gritted in icy weather. More traffic creating hazard in winter months.
- A small housing development with pavement is not in keeping with the rural character of New Road. The present character of the road is mainly cottages with grass verges.
- A new development would b damaging to the environment. This area is rich in bird life and small mammals, such as hedgehogs. Tawny owls frequent the proposed site.

The main issues is around the consistent flooding due to the high water table
The issues around speeding is a worry and needs addressing
The lack of amenities and the site is too far from any amenities we have.
The pumping station is not fit for purpose and needs upgrading
Damage to the habitat worries me totally
