I object due to the high number of homes which would dominate a small village which has no basic facilities.The increase in traffic would be a problem.A sea of modern homes is unattractive.
To build 55 homes in Honingham would swamp the existing village and have a detrimental effect on the area. This housing estate would dominate a small village. Honingham does not have a shop,post office, doctor's surgery,school or a bus service that is fit for commuters to Norwich/Dereham.The last bus from Norwich leaves before most people have finished work! Therefore the amount of cars using the road through the village would greatly increase.The bus stops on the Mattishall Road anyway which is not very convenient for the majority of villagers, and is certainly a long walk from the proposed site.
However,I am in favour of new homes being built in existing villages rather than creating a new settlement. Perhaps a more reasonable amount of houses would be 10 to 15.
