Wholly inappropriate proposal on what is currently an open rural location of prime agricultural land which would destroy the vital separation and green space between villages.
The development is out of scale, would swamp Honingham, link it to Easton (a designated urban fringe) destroy the rural nature of the village and adversely affecting the ambiance of the locality.
Honingham village cannot adequately cope with further housing as it has very limited infrastructure of road networks, no village shop, and no medical facilities or school.
There a few job opportunities in the area. Inhabitants of the proposed development, would be forced to commute by road adding further traffic to already congested systems
Drainage in this area is already under stress. Flooding on Dereham Road has become a significant issue and further housing could only exacerbate the problem.
Another awful scheme, proposed by an opportunistic developer seeking to make money, blight the area with another housing sprawl and do so at the expense of existing residents.
