Respondent: B.T & G.M Morris

Representation Summary:

We have no Objection in principal to houses being built in amongst existing houses in the Village, where there are quite a lot of fill in spaces. But not to build these enormous Estates as suggested. Certainly not to build behind existing houses. What are needed are starter homes for the young and retirement bungalows. To free up some existing properties to local families. Where the young and elderly do not have to move away from their roots. Instead of Executive properties which out price local people,
We have chosen to live in a small village which had been classified as Hamlet. Even the Council's expense of erecting expensive oak posts denoting 'This is a quiet lane'. To add 'Housing Estates' would completely change this picturesque village. Since the opening of the Pullham crossroads roundabout. Tractors and through traffic are using the Village continuously as a run through. Which these tiny single track lanes cannot sustain and is an accident waiting to happen. Further large development can only add to this danger.
