Built up area.
Used by a lot of people.
Water meadow frequently used close to the proposed site.
Sewage and drainage issues.
Flooding.
Use of calor gas near bonfires and located directly on top of the main gas line to bowthorpe.
No privacy.
Noise issues.
Regularly used by dog walkers and people parking their cars to collect children from school.
Groundwater protection zone.
I would like to object due to the following reasons.
The greater Norwich plan has identified reasonable alternatives such as Ketteringham Dept.
The gypsy site will be located within a ground water catchment zone so would require work to progeny contamination of the water and river.
The site is also close to a water meadow that is very frequently used by dog walkers and people who enjoy nature.
The road is very narrow making it difficult to access, this road is also used by the school coach and also parents picking up and dropping off children.
The village does not have street lighting and also does not have shops or facilities within walking distance which will increase the use of traffic in Bawburgh which is already very busy.
We have also experienced high numbers of incidents with burst water mains and sewers due to the amount of strain it already experiences.
