Representation Summary:

(GNLP0521) I strongly oppose this residential development proposal for many reasons. First and foremost, the village itself has no amenities of its own, with no local shop and as of last year, no post office, more residents will have to travel through Strumpshaw into the neighbouring villages of Lingwood, Blofield and Brundall for services. This will clearly result in an increase in congestion of these narrow village streets and an enforced dependency on cars and other such vehicles due to the very limited alternative transport services of the village. This would be exacerbated further as the proposed site will encroach on the neighbouring village of Lingwood, affectively joining the two villages which would increase all these problems. All access to the proposed site is via back roads and is not viable for the modern car let alone the traffic caused by construction vehicles if this proposal was put forward. Furthermore, the proposed site is completely out of proportion to the current village. It would dramatically change the view of the village from afar which is known for its proximity to the RSPB reserve and its spectacular landscape views. Overall, it is clear that this proposal is unrealistic for Strumpshaw and would only benefit those after short-term monetary gain.

This will clearly result in an increase in congestion of these narrow village streets and an enforced dependency on cars and other such vehicles due to the very limited alternative transport services of the village. Furthermore, the site itself is outside of the settlement limit. This goes directly against what is stated in the Strumpshaw Neighbourhood plan which does not allow any development especially one of this scale to take place outside the village limits. Due to the nature of the land of the specified site, any development will impact greatly on the surrounding landscape and townscape of the village which is known to have high agricultural and ecological importance and should not be ruined by this affliction of building houses.
