Strongly object to this development plan. All brownfield sites currently existing in and around Norwich and the NDR should first be properly considered for housing. Yet again Norfolk is being badly served by major projects which hugely impact on the County - the NDR, dualling the A47, Easton Food Hub and now this GNLP, NOT being properly considered TOGETHER. Norwich is heading for massive urban sprawl. We need green belts before its too late. This huge development is on "high grade" agric. land. There are little or no facilities or services which the residents will need -the residents of the villages concerned are already faced with years of uncertainty and the A47 dualling is likely to turn us into a building site. Listen to us please!
