Respondent: Mr Martyn Dutfield
Harleston has been developed into a medium sized market town following substantial housing development in the area, which has increased the local population significantly since the last Census in 2011, and the ability of the town's infrastructure to cope is now struggling on multiple fronts.
There are issues relating to transport, drainage, school place availability, sewerage, and access to medical and dental facilities.
Each of the new housing estates seems to have been considered in isolation with no evidence of a major Cumulative Impact Study (CIS) being undertaken. A CIS should therefore be conducted before further building is undertaken.
