I support the GNLP decision that the site is unreasonable.
This site is large and any development would significantly affect the landscape and character of the village. There are no facilities other than a pub and church available in the village so a large increase in housing would seriously impact the nature of the village and surrounding areas. The site is close to the Yare Broads and Marshes and development could affect the surrounding environment.
There are no local amenities within Strumpshaw meaning an increase of traffic into neighbouring villages to access shops etc. Many of the local roads are single track and are unsuitable for higher volumes of traffic.
There is no continuous pathway into Lingwood or Brundall meaning access by foot represents a safety issue, especially during winter months during morning and evening commuting and school times. Note there is no street lighting in Strumpshaw.
There are no common open areas within Strumpshaw meaning no areas for young children to meet and play.
