This development is outside the village, it's also outside the village plan. We have no identified need for further housing above the already agreed 20house housing expansion of Bee Orchid Way. This development proposal is disproportionate to the size of the current village. Additional vehicular activity would be a burden on already busy small roads; it would make sense larger developments are located as near as possible to major roads. 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.
