New, Revised and Small Sites

Representation ID: 17522

Received: 29/11/2018

Respondent: Mrs Jennifer Shorter

Representation Summary:

This site is in the Parish of ROYDON not DISS and as such a proposed development of approx. 1250 properties would double the size of the current village. The infrastructure, roads in particular, is not capable of withstanding such a large development. It is assumed that most residents would work outside the area as there are insufficient employment opportunities in Diss, and as such the traffic increase from this development, along narrow country roads, is totally unsuitable. Diss can hardly cope with the traffic at present. The current infrastructure is totally inadequate with regard to schools, medical & road capacity.
