As a small village the forest is part of the community as neighbour walk together and care for the woods. Concerns about the noise and dust created by the site is a major concern as farm vehicles and lorries are currently using new road causing disturbances. Currently a lot of sand and silt is washed on to the road during wet weather and I can only see this getting worse causing damage to the side of the road. Currently the traffic along the A143 at peak times can be blocked for miles as one of the main routes to Norwich and Beccles. As it is a crossing over the broads the traffic can be stuck causing concerns over pollution. I can only see this becoming worse with the addition of more lorries and traffic. This road is not suitable for the continued addition of more traffic. The forest itself is filled with wildlife which would be destroyed, I have witnessed adders, deer, weasels and slow worms in the forest. As well as it being part of the broadland area it does contain sites of historical importance. The areas itself is used often for walkers and brings people into the village.
