- KB1 and KB2 sites are sandwiched between A1M and the East Coast Mainline, access to the sites are limited. The road infrastructure is insufficient. Deards End Lane is a country lane only wide enough for two non commercial vehiclesto pass along part of its length. The bridge over the East Coast Mainline is also very narrow. Access to the B197 via Park Lane/Station Road is under a narrow rail bridge with a pathway used by people to get to the station. The path is only wide enough for one person for most of its length and to pass someone it is necessary to step into the road which is dangerous. Increased traffic =increased danger.
- Impacts on the character of Deards End Conservation Area .
