Proposed development of Mulbarton sites puts the village under severe threat of ruining the rural aspect of the village and turn it into something comparable to a small town. Rural villages should be protected. There are other better sites within South Norfolk and around Norwich with infrastructure better prepared for developments such as is proposed here. Rectory Lane is totally unsuitable for this size development and would require a massive installation and/or upgrade of service facilities. Already the village facilities such as the doctor's surgery and school are at capacity and there is no clear indication as to how these proposed new developments would solve this issue - they would only seem to add to the problem.
