Respondent: Mrs Elaine Pestle

Representation Summary:

This is an obscene proposal. South Norfolk Council should be ASHAMED! This massive development would sacrifice a huge swathe of greenfield land, destroying wildlife habitat and irreplacable local heritage, greatly increase through traffic in surrounding villages such as Ashwellthorpe, already busier since recent new housing developments in Wymondham. Isolated areas of habitat such as Ashwellthorpe Wood SSSI and Peaseacre Wood would be ruined by increased footfall, we will lose our local wildlife, heritage and historical identity, all for the benefit of commuters (who have no current interest in Norfolk other than cheap housing), and of course the selfish greedy landowners.
