I am writing regarding the proposed development at Silfield Wymondham of 6,500 homes (None of which will be affordable for the local working class who will still have to rent, Lining the pockets of the second Home owners)
Mr Alston refers to the development as an exciting opportunity for Mr Alton, The land owner, To make Himself a multimillionaire. (This is a New form of Agriculture where the only Crop that is Reaped is greed.) I would suggest that any Agricultural Land for development, What ever size be sold as Agricultural, Not as building land Price.
The Development is referred To as A Garden Village! (Weasel Words Used by Developers ) I am sure that the Homes will have the Minimum of Garden Space, Garages that a motor vehicle will not be able to Use unless its a smart Car, (More On Pavement Parking) And AS for the 20,000 Plus Inhabitants can hardly be described as A Village, Does this Include New Schools, ( We are still waiting for The promised School By the Developers at The Harts Farm Development. See Old Planning Application at SNDC) Doctors surgery, Transport links. (You cant just put extra carriages on Trains, As they would over hang the end of the platforms at Wymondham Rail Station and all those down the line to Cambridge. The Commuter trains too and from Wymondham To Cambridge are already full by the Time they Reach Attleborough Station )
South Norfolk Planning Department will be looking at the Gain they are going to make from the Considerable Extra Council Tax Revenue and not on the environmental effect on Wymondham and the local Population.
The Infant, Middle and High Schools are Already at full capacity. Promises Have been Made in the past for new Developments to Provide Extra Schools which have not Materialised as SDDC say their is No money To pay for the Teachers. (This Initial Cost should be put Upon the Developers.) Doctors Surgeries are at Full capacity, and Vacancies arising caused by Doctors Retiring Have not been able to be filled due to the increased Work load on the Surgeries.
