Respondent: Horsford Parish Council

This vision is flawed for outlying villages like Horsford. A strong argument for not allocating additional housing to Horsford is Paragraph 125 of the GNLP. It clearly states the need for “a radical shift away from the use of private car, with many people walking, cycling or using clean public transport”
With limited local employment, recent increased development within the village has meant more residents journeying to and from work. Any additional housing would just exacerbate this further. The geographical location of Horsford in relation to the Broadland Northway (A1270) means cycling along or crossing this major A Road, as only one of two exits out of the village, is highly dangerous. Horsford is also a considerable distance from Norwich, for most people to be able to walk to work, so this expectation is undeliverable for the village.
