We, as Aylsham residents, are concerned that the new proposals are neither legally compliant, nor sound.
Regulation 18 stated that Aylsham would have one site of 300 homes put forward for consultation. However, Regulation 19 states that there will be two sites - resulting in a total of 550 new homes in Aylsham instead of 300. This has never been consulted on, either with the Town Council or the residents of Aylsham, and it is for this reason that we believe that the proposals are not legally compliant.
We believe that the proposals are not sound, as Regulation 19 failed to consider the impact of two sites on the infrastructure needs of the town, including schools, health facilities, roads and utilities. These have already been stretched with the building of the Youngs Park and Bure Meadows estates. There will also be an increase in the carbon footprint of the town.
