My Family and I are very strongly against this development, it is my understanding that there is more than one proposal linked to 2121, we are not against small reasonably sized developments but rather the large-scale proposal that is in excess of 400 additional dwellings.
Below I will bullet point my reasoning as I know this letter does not need to be detailed, I will however start by mentioning a subject that I believe to be relevant.
My family and I moved to the beautiful village of Wortwell almost two years ago having resided for the previous ten in Queens Hills (QH) near Costessey. Queens Hills was/is a large scale development within the South Norfolk District Council (SNDC) area and is a prime example of why we don't want to be anywhere near a new large scale development, when we first moved to QH the developers painted an amazing picture of what a wonderful place it was going to be, there was going to be community hub in the form of a shopping area including a pub, small restaurants and several different shops! Not one of these things has ever presented itself in over a decade of continual and on-going development. There is a dedicated bus/taxi/emergency lane that has been in-situ for over a decade and never opened. I clearly remember the fight that had to be made to get the estate a 'post box' and feeling like a miracle had taken place when we got one. My point is simply this, I predict that if SNDC/GNDP move forwards with this proposal 2121 despite strong community opposition that it will be only a short period of time before the amazing promises start to be released, the services that will be bestowed upon the already settled community. I wont even for a minute believe any of it as I have experienced such fragile promises before, I am sure that other community members will be sold but I am happy to share my experiences with them at future community engagements.

Other Points for concern
* Proposal is far too extreme, it's likely to double the village size.
* Destruction of beautiful countryside in an area that holds a vantage point across the village and down into the valley
* Devaluation of all village property, especially those within view of the development or losing a pristine view so they can stare at a congested modern development.
* 400 more houses could mean 800 more cars, A143 could be ok but the High/Low road simply wouldn't cope and the access/egress at either end of the village entering the A143 would not be suitable
* Local schools have not got the space
* Local GP's can barely cope now and definitely could not absorb 800 to 1000 more patients
* Local Dentists would need to expand or new residents would be sent long distances
* Emergency services would need to consider a huge local population increase, Ambulance Response time to the rural area's are terrible without enormous population expansion.
* Can the very limit of the county boundary of Norfolk be correctly described as 'Greater Norwich' Norwich is about a 45-minute drive away?
* Hard to believe that there is local or semi-local employment to support such a large number of additional residents.
* It is my understanding that new developments need to ensure that there is a percentage of dwellings provided as 'affordable housing' when this was built opposite my previous house in QH made it almost impossible to sell my property and as such enormously devalued my house in comparison to other identical houses on the estate. And I have to be honest, Wortwell is unlikely to enjoy the rather large increase in 'affordable housing' as it increases the probability of undesirable neighbours, again I am talking from personal experience of developments in South Norfolk, I became friendly with the maintenance team associated with the 'Metropolitan Housing Association' as they were out every week or so removing large quantities of nappies from the drains. I also got to know some of our local Policing team, this is as they had asked me to report on the comings and goings of an address where a known drug dealer was residing. I am fully aware that not everyone in affordable housing is a drug dealer or a nappy flusher, but by introducing affordable housing to a small village such as Wortwell that the community will almost definitely become quickly aware of the increased crime, maybe not directly affecting them but simply increased Police activity, either way it will make this a far less pleasant village.
* On a map Wortwell is a fair distance from any major development's or towns, there a fantastic little villages etc but it astounds me that this is even a proposal for anything more than a 'few' houses, why not actually focus on what any sane person would describe as
'Greater Norwich' and not 'Rural Norfolk/Suffolk' surely there must be so many other preferable geographically located sites.

I hope that the reader of this can see that I am strongly against this, my village of Wortwell will not know what hit it if this goes ahead! The demographic will be shifted in such a way that our lovely village will be forever changed for the worse.
