Representation Summary:

GNLP 2121, proposed mixed development site

Wortwell is a quiet residential village of some 600 people.

It is in a rural area, most of which overlooks part of the Waveney Valley with uninterrupted views. Wildlife, flora and fauna is unique and this natural area supports many short and long distance footpaths, i.e., Angles Way etc. Why concrete it over?

Our nearest market town is Harleston, some 2 miles. Already the infrastructure is stretched, i.e, Doctors, Dentists, Schools etc, all due to over building. The other market town of Bungay, 5 miles, suffers the same problems. Older people already have problems with care. The bus services are few and far between. There is no shop, in fact one pub and one garage are the extent of public services. Small housing builds are acceptable if a proportion are for young people and are affordable - which probably would not happen anyway.

A large development on 13.75 hectares of land would be a disaster in every possible way. Why let developers ruin yet another beautiful and tranquil area with more concrete??
