I strongly object to Honingham being classified as urban fringe with Easton. Honingham is a rural village in open countryside which should be retained. Indeed the classification based on school catchments is itself not relevant when most school children attend schools elsewhere. Development of Honingham would require car journeys for schools, jobs and shops which is unacceptable in environmental sustainability terms. Honingham has no infrastructure to support development - not even a functioning bus stop. It is unacceptable to allow the Norfolk countryside to be invaded by unnecessary urban sprawl, especially in what is a flood prone area.
