0386 and 0349 are described as close to local school but there is no continuous pedestrian pavement to the school and very few throughout the village with no space to create new ones
Some enlargement of the village would be beneficial but 61+ an unspecified number" households are not a practical proposition. Small developments on all of these sites except 0560 would be feasible.
0386 and 0349 are described as close to local school but there is no continuous pedestrian pavement to the school and very few throughout the village with no space to create new ones.
0560 abuts on Green Lane which is not a road, is an unpaved track and footpath less than 4 metres wide (see OS map) with a significant drain underneath it making it unsuited to heavy traffic. Access to Diss Road would have to be via 0561
Where are the new residents in 61 households plus "an unspecified number" in 0386 in Rectory road going to work? The roads in the village are narrow. The grass verges have been steadily eroded by heavy farm vehicles and lorries delivering to the For Farmers site. Additional commuter traffic will add to this problem. The only roads out of the village are the Diss Road and Shimpling Road leading to the A140 and both would become seriously congested at peak times.
The bus service is inadequate for commuters. Last service to the village is in the early afternoon.
