It's quite astonishing that a land agent had the audacity to suggest this site yet alone actually put it forward for consideration! The fact that the GNLP clearly states from the outset that this land is PRIME HIGH GRADE ARABLE LAND should be enough to stop it being considered in the first place.

Furthermore, the report states that Great Plumstead is a serviced village. Serviced with what, exactly? There is no post office or shop for a start, and the public transport links are far from what should be considered as frequent!

Taking into account the 1000s of houses already allocated within the NDR boundary and also the further 1000s of houses already allocated towards Rackheath and Blofield/Brundall suggests to me that there is absolutely no need for any houses to be allocated on this site!

The allocation for houses which has already been approved is more than enough expansion for what should actually be classified as a "non-serviced village".

The final point I'd like to make relates to the additional amount of cars and traffic that this allocation would generate, yet alone if the allocation for the adjacent field were to be approved too! The road network is incapable of taking much more traffic. The roads are already struggling already and introduction of more cars would only make the situation worse to the point that the infrastructure will simply fall apart.

Despite what some might think, Great Plumstead still holds on to a RURAL feel, but now that the NDR is within spitting distance, it appears that the local councils believe it to now be merely a suburb of Norwich. This should NOT be the case. As far as I'm concerned, it should be remain to be classed as a rural village. Not another "commuterville".
