Rockland St Mary is primarily a linear village, rural in character on the edge of the Broads. Both sites will "intrude onto the landscape... away from the linear pattern of development" were these not the council's own words. Both these sites will significantly change the form and character of this small Broads village

Whilst Rockland does have the facilities above it should be noted that the bus service is irregular, not allowing an easy commute and no service past 6 pm in the evening or at all on Sundays so difficult for recreation/ work etc. The GP surgery runs on limited hours and whilst other times are available it again necessitates the use of a car to access them. Finally the Primary School has poor direct accessibility necessitating many families to drive in poor weather - a car would be a necessity for modern families living in these developments

The site is not in keeping with the linear nature of the village.
The access is unsafe and will add to the congestion around the shop, surgery etc and relies on 3rd party land for splay!
The number of vehicles linked to and servicing the new development will result in a huge increase in congestion, pollution and danger to residents - contrary to SNDC policy of reducing car use this will surely fuel it! The road is already at a dangerous capacity.
The land is good for agriculture with a great level of diversity, it should remain so
