This is obviously a plan dreamt up by someone that has never spent any time in Diss!
When issues such as:
It often taking almost 'half an hour' to drive from one side of town to the other due to the poor road layout and heavy traffic (Often having to turn around to find alternative routes), employment in the Diss area is extremely limited and therefore people need to be able to be able to get in, out and through the town easily, this just isn't happening!
Regularly not being able to get a NHS doctor's or dentist 's appointments on the day you, or your family actually need one, due to the increased demand and lack of GP's?, the embarrassing sport/leisure facilities available in the area all age groups especially young people and family's, and schools where the young children are taught in dilapidated Portacabins.
The last thing Diss and Roydon needs at this time is more new housing- drive past some of the the new housing areas have already often got cars parking on the pavements I suspect is partly due to the benefit of profit over practicalities?
As a resident of Roydon and Diss I Totally object to the plan for the housing at the rear of Roydon high Rd and the plan for the Louis lane and the underway that this is being imposed, the so called consultation is a complete farce designed with only one possible outcome.
I would add that I agree that New affordable housing to complement places to live, BUT I suggest that until the above issues mentioned are seriously addressed any new housing projects should be planned for areas such as 'Long Stratton' (funny enough where the South Norfolk Council is based)as that appears to be the only place south of Norwich, that gets funding and where any new facilities seem to improve!
