Assuming the Broomhill and Station Road sites go ahead I believe 200 more houses is too many for a small market town of under 3000 residents due to infrastructure, doctors surgery and schools. I believe the site next to the surgery as a stand alone would be suitable for smaller affordable housing in particular for the elderly with the proximity of the surgery. Access to Smugglers Lane from Dereham Road could be improved by moving the surgery car park to the other side of the (extended?) surgery and shaving off some of the land on the corner to improve access.
