Received: 26/02/2020

Respondent: Mr Keith Eglinton

Representation Summary:

The plan is outside the development area. No NHS dentist local. Local doctors work load increased.
No senior school nearby young people would need transport. No safe access for people to walk to the Town centre. Increased risk of flooding as proved by the newly built housing in the next field. Loss of green space for food production, food miles and carbon footprint increased.

This area is outside of the development boundary of Hingham. There are No footpaths that will allow people to walk to the centre of the village. There is No NHS dentist in the Town(the nearest Watton And Wynmondam) are full. There is No Senior school and young people would be needed to be transported to a school which would be a cost to the Council. The development which has just been completed in the next field has added to the local flooding at the rear of the site which has meant homes have had to make flood defence a priority. This would mean another green field site would be lost for food production increasing the demand for food to be brought in increasing Food miles/carbon footprint.
