Representation Summary:

I write to object to these Regulations which were agreed without the opportunity of Aylsham residents being consulted as is, I understand, the normal legal requirement.
The plan for up to 500 new homes in this small market town is ridiculous.
There has been no information about the impact it will have on the community such as the existing schools, doctor surgeries and infrastructure.
There are many narrow roads in the town that cannot be widened due to the existence of houses abutting them so any increase in traffic, due to the increased housing, will make life for existing locals miserable to say the least if not dangerous.
I cannot see why it is regarded as acceptable to put forward two housing developments at once rather than one only and see how that impacts the town before then agreeing to a second-if need be.
Think of the impact your decision will have on existing residents rather than just regarding it as a desk exercise for profit.
I would urge you to reconsider the serious mistake that is being made by allowing these 2 developments to proceed without the opportunity for residents to be consulted properly and legally.
By permitting these developments to proceed in this way you are ignoring the interests of this community.
Please reconsider
