I think it's short sighted and wouldn't alleviate the housing crisis to build in a tiny villlage such as Honingham. Small developments in villages won't help, using existing brownfield sites within Norwich would be useful.
The village can't sustain any extra housing and developments, we don't have the infrastructure.
This will be loudly opposed.
I feel that this proposed development would impose badly on the village most especially to Mill Road, a small and private lane leading to water meadows and woodland which would be forever changed to its detriment. Honingham is a small village with no amenities save for a pub and village hall, it has no through village bus service. It cannot feasibly sustain any more development and it would change the character of the village permanently and irreversibly. The village is prone to flooding at the best of times and this spill be exacerbated by new buildings and paved spaces.
I vehemently oppose building on this site, as do many other villagers, and will be very vocal about this should it go any further. I do however think building on brownfield sites is a solution to the housing crisis, of which there are loads in Norwich. Build there before attacking our countryside.
