I have very strong objections on the proposal for the land on the west side of Brickle Road, which is the land my house backs on to.

This is an outrageous proposal and would totally ruin this perfectly peaceful and rural location. This is the main reason I live here because it's countryside, free of light pollution, has an abundance of incredible wildlife which is a sheer joy to observe and enjoy. We cannot afford to loose more of our wildlife, its already surviving on a knife edge as it is. What does it take before we realise it's lost forever and cannot be brought back.

The road network cannot support more traffic, we are on overload as it is. With the ongoing development in Poringland this route along Brickle Road has been a rat run. On normal days it's lethal, traffic not observing the 30mph speed limit as it approaches the road from shotesham and poringland direction travelling towards the cross roads at the top of Brickle Road and Chandler Road. Huge lorries blunder their way towards shotesham without any care to pedestrians, this applies to 98% of all vehicles that use this road traveling in either direction. I have walked this road with and without my dog for over 21 years and you take your life in your own hands. reporting the speeding to the police asking for some presence in relation to this has gone unattended. Nobody has ever patrolled this road and observed the traffic as far as I am aware.

When the road is less busy, which is more infrequent than before, it's a sheer joy to walk or cycle and to enjoy the surrounding views. To open up a housing estate for 50 plus houses would be a disaster, from a pollution perspective both fumes and lighting. The wildlife gets disorientated by unnatural lighting. We are fortunate to have, bats tawny owls, barn owls, hedgehogs, swans,. geese deer, foxes, herons, toads, frogs all using this as their pathway in their natural habitat. Develop this and you loose this wonder. As we know hedgehogs are in massive decline.

The local infrastructure is unable to cope with more people, schools, GP surgery's shops, facilities are already overstretched. The reason people and myself came to live here was because it was a village. It will turn into a town and eventually join up with Norwich and be some awful sprawling mass of nothingness. The agriculture will also suffer as land for crops will be lost.

I had believed this be a green belt and could not be developed. What happens when the green belt is lost. Will we look like the rain forests? barren apart from homes and cars, instead of tress for palm oil production?

There would be more telegraph poles and wires blotting the landscape, sewage and drainage to be added. We can not cope with more people here. Its not feasible and wont work. The reasons to stop development far outweigh the ones to provide more.

I have to reiterate my strongest of objections to this proposal on so many levels.
the residents of this road will not want to look out onto houses from our back gardens and bedrooms, all privacy will be lost and will create such a dark and dreadful blot on the beautiful landscape we currently have. If you've not been here to see the fields glowing with rapeseed in May you should take a look. The scent is gorgeous. The views here are stunning and I feel so lucky to be here. This development would ruin it all and devalue my home.

This is for Brickle Road. I hope this is the right one, as couldn't see 5.72 and GNLP 2111.
