"Policy 15 of the joint core strategy identifies Mulbarton and Bracon Ash as a service village in which land will be allocated for small scale housing growth ..... within the range of 10-20 dwellings subject to form, character and servicing constraints". This enormous site, if developed, would ruin the village for ever. Residents of Mulbarton have chosen to live in a village, accepting small scale growth, and I strongly feel that huge sites like this should be allowed for development in towns only.
This site would be contrary to all evidence collected in the Neighbourhood Plan, formally approved by South Norfolk Council and adopted.
Access has been deemed as "suitable" which I cannot accept. Rectory Lane, at several points is wide enough for only one vehicle. Accessing the A140 from this site and these roads is near on impossible, with the constant flow of traffic from both sides. With the development due to take place in Long Stratton, this will only become considerably worse. This site is outside the development boundary and extremely close to a conservation area.
The infrastructure in the village is failing, due to the considerable amount of new building that has already taken place without any improvement to the infrastructure. It is now not unusual to wait 5 weeks for an appointment at the doctors and the roads are in an appalling condition, with some potholes and sunken drains taking almost a year to repair.

The loss of open space and a network of footpaths would be irreversible and I can only force that if development like this takes place, those of us that choose to live in a village will be forced to move further out, in order to maintain village life, without our formerly beautiful home being turned into a concrete town. Leave mass development like this to the towns.
