Totally agree with the considered desicion of the GNLP.
The JCS 2.12 states that brownfield sites will be used wherever possible.
A quick search on Google gives several available large commercial plots for sale or rent in and around Norwich - Sweet Briar Rd, Buxton Rd several sites on the Broadland Business Park take your pick. I'm led to believe there will be a lot of land along the new NDR allocated for purely industrial use and that surely is the point of providing these areas, to allow businesses the freedom to build large unattractive but functional units where they can be as noisy and smelly as they like without affecting anybody else.
2.19 states that smaller villages will have small scale development, appropriate to the scale and needs of the village and its immediate surroundings.
This proposal is massive - it covers 11 hectares , it would dwarf the village so could in no way be deemed either small or appropriate to scale and who in the village needs it ? The surroundings of the village are fields which have offered a lovely view across the Tas valley enriching the lives of the local community and passers by for centuries, what it doesn't lack is a dirty great carbuncle plonked in the middle of it with high metal fences , car parks and machinery.
Access to this site would cause a bottleneck which would stretch out of the village in all directions, especially north bound during the morning rush hour. The A140 is already groaning and with the addition of 1800+ new homes proposed for Long Stratton this is going to get a lot worse, any obstacle, such as an island or roundabout, located at the proposed site entrance would undoubtedly be the start and cause of a long queue of idling traffic.
Wilful destruction of beautiful countryside may sometimes be unavoidable but there should always be a very compelling case to justify such actions with unassailable arguments. I spoke to the representatives from Ben Burgess when they pitched their proposal in the village and was offered none of the above, all I could glean was it suited them, never mind if it ruins the peace and tranquillity, the environment & general wellbeing of the entire community, it suits Ben Burgess and that's all they really care about.
In a nutshell - There is No good reason to build this Here.
