Respondent: Mr Joe Darrell
I object to the proposed establishment of "village clusters" The idea of clustering adjoining villages appears to be a thinly veiled arrangement to merge communities and so provide wide swathes of land for future housing. The current target of AT LEAST 1200 new houses is almost as much as the existing commitment. Compare that to Norwich and the larger towns who are only expected to provide a further quarter of their current expansion. It is nonsensical to push development out into the remoter communities where by and large there is virtually no local employment. CLIMATE CHANGE WILL REQUIRE LOCAL JOBS.
