Representation Summary:

Honingham is a small unspoilt village and as such should be preserved as part of Rural Norfolk We are opposed to the large number of properties proposed. Any new dwellings development shoud be confind to infilling with properties built faceing on to the existing roads, or may be a small close but not of estate proportions as proposed. At this stage we are not able to give a view on what the consequence of so many dwellings would have, but drainage and flash flooding is already a problem in this area.

We are strongly opposed to the proposed site GNLP0415R-G

We would like to point out that the land south of the Mattishall road is part of the former Grange Farm located on the northern side of the Mattishall road Honingham. The proposed site is adjacent to and runs parallel with land that formed part of Brick Kiln Farm ( latterly Greenacre Farm). To the north of these two pieces of land is land that originally form part of Honingham Thorpe/Thorpe Farm.
If this land is allowed to be built on and connected to the completely unacceptable proposed development east of Colton road Honingham it will be nothing less than urban sprawl.
If the proposed Honingham Thorpe Garden Village is to be given any consideration then it
shound be confined to Honingham Thorpe.
Building on the proposed site of course raises environmental issuses particulally drainage and contamination of the chalk aquifers that feed water supply to Honingham properties in theTud Valley, and run off/ flash flooding to the river Tud in the centre of Honingham. r,'here will be also the loss of yet more good agricultural land.
