Representation Summary:

This is out of keeping with the linear nature of the village. This is a rural village with nature reserves and additional housing would change the nature of this. Wheatfen is of significant important national interest and this would impact negatively with increased traffic and pollution. Wheatfen is not funded as a visitor attraction and as such does not seek to benefit from increase in local population. I'm not aware that there has been local consultation on whether new recreational facilities are actually needed. The road to Norwich is not suitable for increased traffic.
