Respondent: Mrs Ria Tyrrell

Representation Summary:

I wish to strongly object against the proposal in Wortwell.
Without a car it is almost impossible to get to work as we have a very poor bus service.The large site could have 300 odd houses on it which would mean an extra 600 cars going through the village.
We have no shops or other amenities in the village.Harleston is the nearest town some 3 miles away.Bungay is 5 miles away and hasn't got a bank anymore and in inadequate postoffice.
Access onto the busy A143 trunk road from Wortwell(Homersfield end)is already dangerous and in addition the Flixton Road is used as a bypass for lorries to Halesworth as they cannot drive through Bungay.
Land drainage into the Waveney Valley has always been a problem.Housing West of Low Road would cause more flooding issues.
The development would total destroy the character of this lovely quiet village
in the Waveney Valley, an area of outstanding beauty.
