No identified local need for further housing
There's already an agreed village housing expansion of 20 houses on land adjacent to Bee Orchid Way. This is more than sufficient expansion up to 2036.
The development is outside the village plan.
Access would be problematic given the convergence of the roads and the significant blind bend and additional vehicular traffic would increase traffic risk to both pedestrians and cyclists
The field is an ideal marker for the end of the village and further expansion along an already large linear route is not necessary.
Additional Housing to support the GNLP should be concentrated around the Northern Distributor Road, on the A11 corridor or within the City of Norwich itself. Unconstrained and exponential housing growth in rural villages threatens the quality of life of residents, impacts on wildlife and the local ecology and erodes the natural beauty of the area which is a tourist destination being on the fringe of the Norfolk Broads National Park.
