Respondent: Upton with Fishley Parish Council
Upton with Fishley Parish Council objects in principle to development on the part of this site which is within the boundaries of Upton with Fishley civil parish as Upton is listed as being unsustainable and outside the settlement limit. The current Local Plan states that there is no justification to allow new dwellings in unsustainable locations.
The land nearest to Acle should be used for a bypass to link South Walsham Road with Norwich Road and the A47 when the A47 at North Burlingham is dualled and the traffic which would previously have used The Windle drives through Acle instead.

This will make a small country village into a sprawling community over double in size. Where will all these people go to the doctors, schools, shops. The traffic is bad enough on that stretch of the A47 this will make it impossible, how will they access anywhere. There is numerous wildlife in this area, deers, foxes, badgers etc. These will all be destroyed. The water table will be upset and as this area is low lying there will undoubtedly be flooding for the proposed houses.

I am 94 years old and do not want to see this area ruined. This is a small village community which will be ruined by doubling the size of our lovely village. The noise and pollution will be terrible. 500 houses brings in probably 2000 adults and children, all of which could possibly have cars. The wildlife here is wonderful and I sit at my window and enjoy this as I cannot get out much, this will spoil what this pretty area is all about just for greed.

Respondent: Upton with Fishley Parish Council
Acle Parish Council objects to the proposal. A development of this size would adversely affect the service provided, eg by the medical centre. Every property would have at least two cars, causing a huge increase in local traffic. Traffic going to the north, east and south would have to drive through the narrow roads in the village centre to access A47 or A1064. The village sewerage system is already at capacity. Part of this land should be reserved for a bypass for the village to connect South Walsham Road to Norwich Road.

Too small an area for so many homes. The area lacks the roads to accommodate the inevitable increase and traffic. We need a green area open to the public as Hellesdon's similar amenities are too far away from this part of our suburb to be reached easily.
This is a small piece of green land that is thoroughly unsuitable to accommodate 50 or more new homes. This part of Hellesdon has very little in the way of green space and is surrounded by by overcrowded busy roads that cannot accommodate even more traffic; namely Fifers Lane, Cromer Road, Reepham Road and Middletons Lane. With hundreds of homes already planned for the old golf course and past Hellesdon towards Horsford we are moving towards traffic gridlock in the area. This small piece of greenery should be provided instead to local families as a much needed area for relaxation, with amenities for children to play and adults to relax or exercise. Hellesdon Recreation Ground is a car journey away for most residents in this area which just compounds the traffic issues. Also Heath Crescent was bollarded some years ago due to the intolerable amount of traffic using it as a rat run. Why turn back the clock and increase the amount of traffic in this quiet residential rea?

Site over 500m from Broads. Separated by roads and screened by intervening development. Linkage to and extension of Acle Land Trust wooded area to be planned within site layout. This will provide recreation and biodiversity opportunity. Unlikely to impact adversely on Broads in terms of heritage.
Opportunity to mitigate through planting and habitat corridor. Adequate green open space and green infrastructure should be designed into this scheme particularly pedestrian and cycle routes providing access to Acle and the rights of way network leading to Upton with Fishley.
