I must strongly object to the planning permission in 49 hectares for 1250 houses in Roydon near Diss.
It would totally destroy the ambience of the village atmosphere of Roydon in that there then would be solid houses between Diss and Roydon taking away the only rural separation of the two settlements. Roydon School is undertaking an extension and with the possible increase of so many families the school would be unable to cope despite this. Other services would also be in jeopardy such as doctors who cannot recruit and are still short of manpower and with so many businesses moving away I don't think it has the available employment opportunities for this number of houses.
Roydon is a village and to suddenly allow so many houses would destroy totally the environment in my view. The local area is building many houses already in Diss and so I would have thought we are creating sufficient demand.
I would therefore implore you to reject this planning application.
