I am appalled by this proposal and strongly object to the spread of the urban environment into the countryside of Norfolk. Norwich has considerable brownfield opportunities that should be used. The rural fringes should be protected from this kind of unnecessary sprawling growth. Honingham has no infrastructure to support this development which will create unstainable needs for car journeys to access shops, jobs and schools indeed Honingham doesn't even have a functioning bus stop. The area is prone to flooding (existing A47 and Honingham village centre) and removing open countryside and farmland for urban development will only exacerbate this further.
