Respondent: Sally Metcalf

Representation Summary:

This site would have an unacceptable impact on the ancient woodland and County Wildlife Site of Brooke Wood and would also have a negative effect on the entrance to the village from the West approach. It is outside the development boundary and is quality agricultural land which should only be used for development as a last resort when all other possibilities have been exhausted. When the size of a village is increased to this level, the 'village' is lost forever. The Norfolk countryside brings £3 billion in tourism revenue each year, they won't come to see a housing estate.
