Respondent: Honingham Parish Council
Honingham Parish Council object to this site and do not believe it is the right location for such a large new settlement. It will have a detrimental effect on the current village, threatening its character. There are considerable threats to the local environment and there are not sufficient services to support such a large scale development.
Honingham Parish Council object to this site and the whole proposal of a new settlement under site GNLP0415A-G. The consultation states a revision has been made to the boundary for site GNLP0415R-G but this revision has not been clearly identified and therefore it is not possible to assess the impact on Honingham and the wider proposal for a new settlement.
Honingham sits at the bottom of a valley and is vulnerable to flooding from the River Tudd. There are serious concerns that further development and building will increase surface run off into the River Tudd, leading to potential flooding in the village.
The development of this site will contribute towards urban growth in the local area. It is feared that this will eventually lead to the villages of Easton and Honingham, Colton and Marlingford becoming one large settlement. A development of this size severely threatens the character of the current village.
The Parish Council consider this site to be unsuitable, as documented in the Suitability Assessment. Honingham Parish Council object to this site.
