We see much 'development', mostly middle-income housing.
The 'affordable' housing is little, and nevertheless, well out of reach for those who really need it.....

A plan,- in these times especially, should surely include, as a PRIORITY:

i) Getting cold, pained, and potentially dying young people off the streets of Norwich into small warm dry eco habitations.
ii) Rehousing individuals and families who are suffering in damp squalid rip-off rent conditions,
as a means of staying off the streets, into something similar.

Clearly neither of these will be a cash cow for developers,(as they are in need of being within the Univeral Credit budget!!)
However, it seems obvious that a Greater Plan needs to be Great in some respects, and has little to do with greedy landowners and hungry builders circling to make a killing.


Secondly, more specifically, and with regard to this and Reedham NR13 (GNLP 1001 & 3003):

Reedham often described as 'one of the most picturesque villages in the Broads' has already been partly vandalised with housing estates, the latest being 'Barn Owl Close' -(where the barn owl now does not fly),
and which after 2 years is still ongoing, with dust and noise,-including constant bleeping of machinery.

So is there a benefit to even more housing, bearing in mind the following:

*The primary school will almost certainly be full before these houses are built.
*The Surgery is already fit to burst.
*Potential FLOODING is an issue in Witton Green (1001)
*There is little or no employment in the village,
and as one of the most outlying areas public transport is difficult and expensive,
leading to the alternative of choking all the small access roads with cars (and more delivery vans)

I would urge the planners to seriously consider , by visiting the reality ,
rather than the onscreen virtual reality.
