With regard to site GNLP0411(0.7HA)

This small piece of land is being currently grazed by horses and is positioned between Fellowes Road, a row of predominantly semi detached council houses and bungalows, and Mill Lane an unmade track which is no more than a wide footpath which contains five owner occupied small semi detached and detached houses. To suggest that there is the opportunity to connect Fellowes Road and Mill Lane is absurd. There is no space for a road to be built along Mill Lane, service vehicles do not at present traverse the length of Mill Lane, and it is considered that were Highways consulted the construction of a pavement would be mandatory thereby necessitating land acquisition from the front of the existing dwellings.
The access as shown on the site, being from Fellowes Road is equally narrow it being between two semi detached bungalows at number 16 and 18, and hardly suitable for more extensive traffic use.
This site is within the river valley and close to a considerable flood plain and further development would add to the height of the water table.

It is felt that the constraints to development are greater than acknowledged in the Settlement Summary at Paragraph 3.21. and the Council strongly object to this proposal.

It is felt by the Council that Honingham is being confronted by development from all directions, namely A47 dualling , the Western quadrant of the NDR dualling, The Food Hub, and the route of the Onshore Cable Corridor and now the GNLP proposals, and despite reassurances we still lack confidence that the voice of the people is being heeded.
