I am writing with my comments on the GNLP plan but specifically on the effect on Aylsham. I am amazed that the residents of Aylsham have not been consulted on the Plan as it now stands, and it seems that there are now two sites for future development, whereas previously there was just the one. I am informed that this has never been put forward for consultation, and is therefore not legally compliant.
Furthermore, Regulation 19 does not consider the obvious impact of the two development sites on the town. Aylsham has already been the site of two large housing developments over the past five years, and the existing infrastructure has had to absorb these large developments, so any further strain will be impossible to absorb. In particular, health facilities and schooling would not be able to cope, let alone the road structure and the poor public transport, with no trains and only an intermittent bus service (many of the buses just skirt around the town, therefore being useless to Aylsham residents).
Therefore, I believe that the legal position of the Plan is not legal and is thus unsound.
