Firstly, as many others have said, Honingham is a small community. The fastest way to destroy a community is make it grow too fast. Adding 55 houses would increase it's size by 50% and at a stroke, overwhelm yet another rural village.

Most households have 2 cars nowadays. That means a further 100 vehicles using country roads every day and adding to an already congested road network. The Berry's Lane/Mattishall Road route is already very busy. Just look at the queues approaching the A47 junction between 8:00 and 9:00am. That road is totally unsafe to walk on during that time.

To say a development brings prosperity is a delusion. Even if there was a village shop, I bet almost all the new residents would use the nearby Sainsburys. Very few would work locally. Most would need to hold down a job in Norwich to afford a mortgage.

Norfolk is one of the few counties where there are still wildlife havens. We need to ever mindful of the damage we are inflicting on our ecosystems. New developments in such areas are extremely detrimental to our already fragile ecosystems

Unless there is insufficient land in reserve to meet demand for the next 15 years (as I'm led to believe is not the case) then what purpose does allowing this development serve? (Other than allowing the landowner and developer to make money)

Any proposed development that overruns existing communities should be rejected out of hand
