Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20139

Received: 27/02/2020

Respondent: Mr Greg Peck

Representation Summary:

Honingham is not urban fringe, it is therefore erroneous to link the village with Easton. This would swamp Honingham, damaging the heritage of the village and adversely affect its rural nature
Inhabitants of proposed houses, would have to commute to Norwich or elsewhere, adding to further traffic congestion. The drainage in this area is already under stress as flooding on the Dereham Road has become a significant issue and further housing would only exacerbate the problem. The result of such development would be to turn a small rural village with considerable identity and heritage into an urban fringe of Norwich.
