Received: 28/11/2018

Respondent: Dr G M Courtier

Representation Summary:

This proposal to sacrifice valuable arable farming land for intensive residential housing, losing sustainable resources that support the UK economy just for the short-term financial benefit of a few, is preposterous.
The impracticality of introducing even a fraction of residential development in the proposed location is enormous. Adjacent roads are at capacity, and considerable new services would be required. Unacceptable, irreversible degradation of the environment would ensue for the neighborhood and residents.
Infrastructure requirements would overwhelm the containing rural parish of Roydon. Housing development in places in Diss already imposes >30 minutes reaching the main road by car at times.
