This cannot go ahead - the landscape would be ruined for ever and the area is totally unsuitable to development: poorly drained, no mains drainage and sewerage, narrow roads and poor access, steep land, stunning environment. Development needs to be focussed on the A11 corridor.
Where does one begin? This proposal is attempting to change the landscape of west Norwich. All the site investigations will throw up the development issues that would have to be overcome - I don't think I need to dwell on them but they would include, drainage, flood risk, narrow roads, access to the A47, environmental impact, landscape ruination, air pollution. But, to me, the key question is: is this beautiful area the right place to be developing a new settlement - well away from the A11 corridor and close to the stunning Yare Valley? The answer Is NO!
