Representation Summary:

Further to my e-mail dated 22nd March 2018 (copy below) I am writing to voice my concerns about the size of plan GNLP2104 - which incorporates GNLP0606. Which will see an increase of over
1200 homes into 49 hectares. The proposed building area runs from Shelfanger Road, (actually this part of Shelfanger Road is in Roydon) to Factory Lane Roydon and up to Brewers Green Roydon.
Westbrook Green and Boundary Farm.

* 1200 homes means a minimum of 2400 people (if you average each household as having two inhabitants) plus 2400 cars.
* The impact on the environment would be detrimental as this area is close to the Brewers Green Country Wildlife area - there is also a risk of flooding.
* Pollution from cars detrimental to people's health and wildlife.
* Road infrastructure around this area and especially through Diss could not cope with this additional amount of traffic. The area is already gridlocked and roads
in a poor state of repair.
* Louis Lane is already a danger zone at rush hour with cars using this cut through, but not slowing down through a residential area.
* Schools are already overcrowded, both in Roydon and Diss.
* Doctors it is difficult to get an appointment - these would need expanding and modernising.
* Hospitals of Norwich/Ipswich/Bury St Edmunds already over stretched.
* Communities would be detrimentally effected.
* Police forces in Norfolk are being reduced - more people means more crime.

Therefore I strongly object to the following plans
GNLP2104
GNLP0606
GNLP0362
GNLP0526
GNLP1038.

Developers should not be allowed to cram in houses - space needs to be given otherwise it just causes anti-social behaviour. Let's be realistic the majority of households have at least two cars - supply driveways that can cater for this.
In Roydon developments like Appletree, Millway, Hose Avenue, have roads that are wider - visiting guests can park their cars on the roads without having to park on pavements. People need space and if they have space then there is less
Anti-social behaviour.
