This is prime agricultural land and therefore needed for food production. It would be a great loss if 6,500 houses and associated amenities were built on it.

This proposed development is grossly too large for the rural area it sits in. Silfield is already absorbing over 2000 new houses and the road system is not capable of taking any more vehicles at all. Access may be suggested onto the A11 via a new on-road, but there will be many more journeys taken by prospective families to schools, shops, work and leisure etc that don't need to go onto the A11 at all and so will clog up the narrow country lanes in this area.

Wymondham is a tourist destination. It's unique character would be damaged by all the additional vehicles and necessary extra facilities to service the proposed huge rise in population.

The ancient and established natural environment and wildlife would be a huge casualty of this proposed development which is very much in the public mind these days and we can't afford to lose any more of it.
