I would like to communicate my severe reservation on the above proposal for the large mixed development site on the outskirts of Wortwell village. I have been a resident of the village for the past 7 years and like most of the other villages enjoy the rural character of the village. I acknowledge that new build is essential and I would welcome controlled and sympathetic affordable housing to be introduced into the village. Unfortunately, the above proposals would potentially allow a vast new housing development which would swamp the village, increasing the number of houses by more than double. This would not be sustainable on a number of levels, including pressure on rural roads, and inadequate local resources and transport facilities. It would entirely change the character of the village which would not be acceptable to the majority of the existing residents.
I note that there are a number of other proposed sites for the village, which I feel would be much more acceptable; allowing a better integration into the Village community and infrastructure. Wortwell could not realistically support a development that size of 2121.
In conclusion, I totally support the views expressed in the document created by the parish council and sent to the GNLP
