the proposed site has a river running through the middle of it and is subject massive water volume changes. There is high risk of flooding and the villgae has no infrastructure to support this level of development

Lack of infrastructure. This site has a river through it and is subject to a high flood risk on the Environment Agency's website.

The site runs directly adjacent to my whole boundary. Development on this site would have a significant negative impact on my privacy and well-being. The site also is a floodplain for the river which runs adjacent to it and flood risks would be probable. In addition the infrastructure in Spooner Row is not sufficient to cope with a development of this scale. The village identity as a linear settlement would also be affected by this development. I strongly object to the proposal and suitability of this site which would erode my standard of living and that of other villagers.

Flooding issue. Proposed housing too great, coupled with the proposed housing opposite in Station Road which is a very busy road, HGVs etc.

I strongly object to this proposal. The proposed site sits along the entirety of our side boundary. It will seriously impact on our way of life, well being and country views from all windows. No doubt significantly reducing the value of our property as a result.

Spooner Row is not suitable for large scale development without significant investment in infrastructure. The train stops once a day arriving in Norwich at 8:30 and leaving at 4:30. No use to anyone who works normal office hours. The bus stop(?!)) is a walk along a 60 mile an hour road with no pavements and across two roundabouts connecting the a11 which cars speed round. The road between Wymondham and spooner row is already dangerous as its not wide enough for two cars in parts and already increasingly busy. The school is also tiny and old.

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 These representations are made on behalf of JM Greetham No 2 Settlement in respect of lands known as Sites 1-5, GNLP0444, GNLP0445, GNLP0446
GNLP0447, GNLP0448, Spooner Row, Wymondham.
1.2 The five sites within Spooner Row (the 'Sites') collectively extend to an overall aggregate site area of 19.63ha and they have been previously submitted as potential residential development sites under the Call for Sites request in 2016.
1.3 The five Sites will:
* provide a coherent consolidation and sensitive extension to the otherwise fragmented settlement morphology of Spooner Row. This will include the provision of a structured network of public open spaces comprising parkland and children's play areas. It will also include the introduction of additional community infrastructure in the form of additional school land, allotments, additional public car parking, new footpath links and a retail unit to serve local village need;
* fully assimilate into and enhance the settlement form and function of Spooner Row, set within a robust landscape framework, sympathetic to the existing village and the local landscape character. The development of the Sites will not negatively impact upon the character and function of the village;
* comprise a highly attractive and well-designed modern living environment which respects the local vernacular, with convenient and safe access by foot to nearby community facilities such as the local primary school, village hall, proposed parkland, proposed children's play facilities and the proposed shop, as well as the church and local pub;
* improve safe and convenient access to the railway station, bus stops, the local primary school and local community facilities to the benefit of the wider village;
* enhance the ecological and biodiversity value of the village with structural landscaping and the formation of new habitats including ponds, woodland and wild meadow.2.0 INTRODUCTION
