Respondent: Mrs Linda Human

Representation Summary:

Facilities as described do not exist in Honingham, makes it a far more attractive proposition than reality. Road infrastructure poor and will potentially damage sensitive areas like Berrys Lane. Schools and GP surgeries already oversubscribed and not as viable as suggested. Public transport very poor and again not as suggested in report.

I am not at all happy with the glowing reports of facilities available for this development. There isn't a garage in the village, there is a small (very good) unit that does vehicle repairs - certainly not the sort that supplies fuel, papers, milk etc. In fact we have an excellent pub, but that's about it. No street lights, no shops, very limited public transport - it's a good walk up a hill to get a bus, the service is infrequent, buses frequently missed out, and does not operate after 5pm. Each house to be built would probably have 2, maybe more cars, that will increase traffic in and out of Honingham to an unacceptable level - the road infrastructure (especially Berrys Lane) is just not suitable for this. Schools are too far away and are already over subscribed, as is the local GP surgery at either Mattishall or The Roundwell. Totally unsuitable and unnecessary development.
