Urban sprawl and landscape harm at Downham Grove. Would contribute to traffic congestion.

I am concerned that there is a contingency of 1,000 houses which is excessive.

Comment objects to site being reasonable
3.7 Two of the identified Reasonable Alternatives sites are too small to accommodate the 1,000
dwelling contingency required; GNLP2150, land east of Carpenter Barn and GNLP2155, land west
of Carpenter Close. These are 6.5ha and 3.4ha and could only accommodate around 150 and 80
dwellings respectively which falls far short of the 1,000 dwellings required. In addition, because of
their size they would not deliver the infrastructure improvements necessary to support the
additional and existing housing required and they would both represent incremental growth rather
than a well-planned strategic contingency for Wymondham.

3.8 Whilst the commentary in the draft GNLP recognises that the sites are well located in terms of
access to services, both sites would need to form part of a comprehensive extension in this area
with associated infrastructure improvements. Neither site could deliver the necessary infrastructure
improvements particularly in terms of a new primary school. For these reasons neither site meets the contingency need and are not considered,
therefore, to represent a site that should be considered further.
