Representation Summary:

I object to these proposed plans for Wortwell High Road and Low Road.

Wortwell lies in the Waveney Valley - an area of natural outstanding beauty which all those living in the village treasure and we are very proud of our riverside community. It is a community that values the quality of rural life, the tranquillity of a rural life, space 'to be' and a sense of independence.

The addition of further development would not as you say 'protect and enhance the environment' but would go a long way in destroying it with all the additional needs in the practical sense - communication networks, roads, traffic, parking, drains - and remember too that this is an area within a flood risk zone. We should not be building here. No specifications were given as to numbers of properties or specific use which fills me with horror. In addition there would be all the additional infrastructure needed to support a larger community. This will no longer be a village with a village's pace of life.
