I agree with Broadland DC and object to this property being developed for the reasons given (inadequate facilities and infrastructure to support additional village development of this size and nature) and additionally because:
- a development of this enormity (90 houses) completely destroys the rural character of a Norfolk/English village.
- Strumpshaw is within the immediate catchment and buffer (1 mile) of the Broads National Park and is not appropriate for urban development of this kind - the environmental footprint will be inappropriate in terms of noise and light pollution, quite apart from other socio-economic and environmental impacts.
