The provision for sufficient new schools and additional places at existing schools needs to happen in advance of the housing development if overcrowding of classrooms and relocation of children to other schools is to be avoided. Long Stratton is a prime example of where there is to be significant new housing development and if local schools do not have capacity will children from outlying villages such as Bunwell be relocated to other schools where there is capacity? That must be avoided to prevent disruption and upset to the children at an important time in their lives.

It's no surprise that there is greater reliance on the use of the car in rural areas. In theory the Cluster Village plan makes sense but the reality is that many parents, even those living near to schools, continue to use their vehicles for dropping off and collecting the children, particularly in bad weather or if they have jobs to go to. New houses surely must now have car charging points to encourage the purchase of eco friendly hybrid and all electric vehicles which will also make housing development in non cluster villages agreeable for the longer term.

Cost effective and efficient means of supplying energy must be considered for the short, medium and long term. Wind farms and solar panels are not visually appealing and are expensive given production/installation costs, subsidies, back-up requirements and relative lifespan. Other energy sources such as hydrogen fuel cells are a good long term option for light/heavy transport, aviation and shipping and while currently expensive to produce, they offer great long term opportunities, particularly for a region with the sea on two sides, a huge component in hydrogen production. A combination of all energy sources is the longer term way forward

We fully support the view that our valued landscapes must be protected but some are not as we would like. Solar energy farm installations on arable land seem a questionable alternative to food production in addition to not being attractive. Wind farms are not at all appealing to the eye and are a noise intrusion for local houses. Extreme care must continue with the siting of new housing developments, large and small and to consider and avoid any loss of view for local residents and the village as a whole when alternative, less intrusive options are available.
