Representation Summary:

People moved here to spend a peaceful life and better connect with the city. They paid a double price for the houses. Traffic is already bad and every morning traffic jams are in Poriongland and A146. More homes will make it worse.

I definitely have objection about this future development. We recently moved to Framingham Earl from the Bowthrope area. The reason we moved was a shorter way to work, less time in traffic. We agreed to pay a huge price for the house because we were told that nothing else would be built nearby. We wanted to move to a quiet area. Unfortunately, the traffic in Poringland is already bad, and any additional home will just make traffic more difficult. We moved here because the traffic on Bowthrope, Cosstesy after years has changed and it was dramatic. Enormously long traffic jams on Earlahm Rd, as well as Dereham Rd, and this worsened after the Costessey and Queens Hill farms were built. Framingham Pigot and Earl were supposed to be a peaceful place !!!! Consider planning your transport desire before enabling other development. Long queening are made each morning in Poringland and A146. House prices here are huge and the reason for this was the price for a quiet, easier connection to the center. The last bus goes after 6pm from the center and is definitely too early for working people. I understand that as a council you want to claim for additional municipal taxes, but you do not seem to give enough to support existing residents. I do not know what affects the decision to build new homes, but it is bad as it is now. I do not want to feel like living in Queens hill because I paid twice more for my home. New homes have become attractive to people who can not afford them so they go through the help to buy scheme. Unfortunately, this is not any help because after 5 years you have to go double credit and then people will be forced to sell their new homes which they may not be able to sell for a high price they paid for.
