1) My first point applies to GNLP0415 and many of the other proposed sites around Norwich. I am strongly against development on farmland. Fields and pastures are a precious, finite resource and in a world of increasing population (and, sadly, increasing global tensions) we must do all we can to preserve and improve them. We have a duty of care to coming generations and decisions we make today must not damage the lives of tomorrow. Future generations will need farmland for its original purpose and their wellbeing must not be sacrificed for current short-term convenience. Building on farmland also runs counter to current efforts that are being made to promote the consumption of local produce and reduce food miles.

2) The proposed development would greatly overload existing infrastructure and, if development must go ahead, there needs to be parallel (preferably preceding) development of services and roads. Please note that the current changes proposed for the A47 (extending the dual carriageway) are the result of existing congestion problems. The addition of a further 4,000 houses would create a serious problem.
Steps would also have to be taken to prevent The Street (Honingham's principal road) becoming a rat-run for vehicles accessing the A47.

3) The proposed development would significantly impact the existing villages. Areas GNLP0415-A and -G approach within 250 metres of existing housing in Honingham and cannot be described as "very remote" from the village.
