I strongly object to the proposed site for the following reasons.

The location of the site is inappropriate as it almost doubles the extent of the village development area. It is at the wrong end of the linear village for access to the schools/shop/doctors' surgery and would necessitate families driving to these facilities rather than walking.

The road through the village and access to Norwich or Loddon is a minor C road and forms part of the National Cycle Route 1. The traffic on this road has already increased and there are ongong issues with motorists exceding the speed limit. This road could not support a potential increase of 200+ vehicles.

The scale of the proposed development is unnaceptable. The site is on high raised ground. The amount of run-off water from 200 houses and hard landscaping would be considerable and would increase the flow of the Hellington Beck to the south of the site - an area that already has a flood risk status.

The proposed site is in the South Yare valley, part of The Broads National Park, with Sites of Special Scientific Interest and County Wildlife Sites nearby. The impact of 200 homes in this area would be hugely detrimental to the incredibly important natural landscape aesthetically and, far more importantly, environmentally.
