I am writing this letter to air my views on this matter of additional housing in Wortwell. The problems it would cause would be overwhelming to say the least.
There is the problems of traffic going through the village. Its already ridiculous as they use the village to cut through to save going through the bypass. Police are working on this now with the council but to no avail at present.
There are problems to get to see a doctor as they have very few dentists in Harleston wont take on any new patients.
Schools are overcrowded, buses rarely run to suit schools or working people (Etc),
Access would be really difficult as they would cut through Wortwell Village again.
Car parking to certain areas would be a problem. Drainage problems. There's a lot of flat land on certain parts of wortwell and we have flooding at certain times of the year with heavy rainfall.
The land would be ruined we have a pretty village and flood rural spaces for wildlife and walks etc. it would become a concrete jungle. I have personally lived in the same house in Wortwell for over (51) years and brought my family up in a peaceful location (we do no need to meet the need for certain housing but wortwell for more reasons then I could list is not suitable for this project. There are a lot of derelict housesin all places around the country (& cities) etc. that could save time and money if they could be restored instead of looking on eye sore.

There is a lot more suitable places to build around than Wortwell. The whole character of Wortwell would be ruined. Water run off could also affect houses that would be at a lower level then new builds. People would have no privacy at the back of existing properties.

I would please seriously reconsider your plans try to see the bigger picture please.
