I am strongly opposed to building on the beautiful Marlingford Road, prime green-belt agricultural land. This area is not only a absolutely vital agricultural asset, providing local-grown food for this region and beyond. But it is also a beautiful natural landscape. Being so close to Norwich, and many smaller towns and villages, it provides wonderful countryside walks for many people. I moved to this area to enjoy the peace and tranquility that a small Norfolk village offers. To build so many additional housing - in addition to the unfortunately proposed Food-Hub - would be an absolute disaster for this beautiful & tranquil agricultural area.

Also, the importance to the nation as a whole is blindingly obvious surely? After all, every acre of prime agricultural land is a precious local & national resource and once it has been built on it is effectively lost forever, thereby increasing our dependency on imported food, eroding our national independence and pointlessly increasing our carbon-footprint for all time! These proposed housing developments are quite literally mis-conceived and I urge you NOT to allow it to happen. After all, once it's gone it IS GONE - FOREVER!
