Representation Summary:

As District Councillor for Aylsham, I would like to make the following comments.

Marsham Parish Council are concerned and I concur, that there is no need to build outside of the originally designated area, especially now that the fire has occurred on the old chicken farm plot. Building on that site should be considered first.
Green space will become increasingly important and should be provided within any development.

As District Councillor for Aylsham, I would like to make the following comments.
1. Aylsham Town Council concluded, and I concur, that the site at Burgh Road is not the preferred site for the town. Instead, the site at Norwich Road is expected to be developed first. A bus terminus on site would reduce the need for buses to enter the town centre. Electric hook ups for Electric cars should be provided in a car park on the Norwich Road site. A school is required and should be planned in too. A sixth form at Aylsham High school is required with the increased population and the distance to colleges.
Burgh & Tuttington Parish Council, are concerned and I concur that the extra capacity required for sewerage works with more development. We would like an undertaking that the river Bure will not be polluted.
Marsham Parish Council are concerned and I concur, that there is no need to build outside of the originally designated area, especially now that the fire has occurred on the old chicken farm plot. Building on that site should be considered first.
Green space will become increasingly important and should be provided within any development.
