Respondent: Dr G M Courtier
Housing development on this site is unsustainable and would be suicidal for the town. This has already inflated to capacity with recent commitments for residential development. The town is finite, having evolved over centuries with a constrictive road structure.
There is no capacity for road widening, extra health provision and schools for the implied 10% increase in population on these sites. Commitments for development have recently already saturated Diss without increasing facilities. More sites are already committed for over 300 homes, and the town is effectively an island with no justification for increasing numbers up to 2038 to over 700.
