We are very worried by this proposal. Stoke Holy Cross has grown by a third in just 4 years. Our son's school is full to bursting, and our house's primary school catchment has changed even though we live in Stoke Holy Cross!
This piece of land is outside the development boundary, and to build on it would mean building on rural green belt land. At the moment I watch tractors on my road, working on local food, providing local jobs.
I am already concerned by the amount of traffic on our little road: Subsequent building of houses will create industrial traffic, followed by excess cars in the area.
I continue to be worried by the lack of footpath between upper and lower stoke, especially as our one and only bus has been threatened. Our GP surgery has moved recently, but even in its new building, parking is hard and appointments are difficult to get. As someone who is disabled, this is extremely worrying.
I'm concerned about the surface drainage problems that have already been a problem on Brickle road. We have so many flash floods nowadays, this is a real worry.
I have lived in and around Stoke Holy Cross for fifteen years. I moved here soon after leaving home in my early twenties, and have settled and raised my family here. The south of Norfolk is so special to me because it is so rural and separate from the city, and yet so close as well. If we continue like this we will become yet another suburb, with no nature and wildlife left, and nothing that makes us special or unique.
