Representation Summary:

Hainford is big enough for its capabilities and would be spoilt and unsustainable with the proposed expansion.

Full text:

I totally object the the proposed plans for Hainford. The areas out lined will nearly double the current village footprint. All of our current infrastructure is stretched to capacity currently so this would be detrimental to our village. Village being the operative word. We do not want or need the growth. The roads are to narrow now to cope with current capacity and the size of the expanding service and agricultural vehicles. The roads are in bad repair and the ditches collapsed. The sewage system is not at a dept to cope with more capacity. The broadband service are patchy at best, although fibre optic to the cabinets they are still inferior copper to the homes. We have a very small school, no shops and an inadequate bus service. There are thousands of square feet of unoccupied buildings in Norwich within the current footprint that could be converted to usable and affordable accommodation.
