Church Lane is very narrow, has blind corners and is steep, the landscape leading down to Church Lane is steep and regularly floods, there is no mains drainage, the area is exceptionally beautiful and should not be built on and the proposal is for holiday accommodation not housing
1. The site proposed lies on steep land which drains rapidly onto Church Lane and through onto the golf course. In even the shortest of rain showers water rapidly moves overland onto the road and lower land. The land is not appropriate for development
2. Church Lane is very narrow; the lane next to the proposed site is the steepest hill in the area - often icy and treacherous and a blind route for all traffic. It cannot take the present volume of traffic let alone any expansion in numbers
3. The Yare Valeyy is an area of outstanding beauty. Fortunately the present limit of the golf club is nestled into the valley and not too much of an eyesore but any further expansion would ruin this beautiful area - so rural and yet so close to Norwich. A favourite haunt for walkers coming out of Norwich
4. There is no mains drainage
5. If the aim of the site proposals is housing, this is not meeting that need: further holiday development is not within the remit
