Representation Summary:

I want to register my objection to the proposed GNLP2121 development. The harm this development would do to our peaceful village is hard to put into words.
I depend on the network of footpaths and rights of way around the village for my own daily exercise and to walk my dog in fresh air and away from the hazards of traffic. We live here by choice because we choose the peace and quiet and closeness to nature over the convenience of local shops and other services. With 2121 you propose to overturn that and destroy our tranquillity.
How may extra cars would over 400 houses bring to Wortwell? What about the impact of all those car journeys on Redenhall?
In the last year the flood meadows have twice filled right up to the edge of the High Road and nearly reached the houses along Low Road. If this goes ahead you will be responsible for much faster rain water run off onto Low Road and flash flooding as well as increasing the most dangerous initial level of flood waters that have to drain along the Waveney.

There are already plenty of small plots left in the village that can be developed without wrecking what makes Wortwell such a special place.
One landowner's opportunity for wealth doesn't justify ruining the village for its inhabitants. For goodness sake please do not approve this proposal.
