Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 21104

Received: 15/03/2020

Respondent: Mrs Linda Human

Representation Summary:

Flooding is main issue, Honingham lies in the Tud valley below this proposed development. Concreting over this land will mean that water previously absorbed by these fields will wash off and head for the river valley - causing river level to rise and flooding the village. Added to that will be the pollutants from increased traffic which will poison the Tud irreparably. Noise levels from increased traffic will be intolerable. Loss of habitat for wildlife, and valuable agricultural land in these challenging times post Brexit, also major concern. The “build” phase will also endanger wildlife and bring misery to Honingham.
