Why destroy something that is a joy for all to behold and gaze upon by building homes on this spot. Homes should be built where they could improve a site and provide homes closer to transport and work
The village is on what was the quiet route south from Norwich out across the little old bridge over the river and on past the meadows which flood during heavy rain and become lakes covered by birds
In winter the lakes become ice rinks for the birds
Cyclists love the route and increasing traffic endangers them
This spot is very dangerous because of poor visibility as any new road would be at the top of the hill
It is already difficult to get onto the road with present traffic levels and more houses would make this worse
