Proposal unsuitable as it is not accurate - there is next to no public transport in Spooner Row and virtually no safe foot paths to make pedestrians safe with the increased population.
Whereas I have no overall objection to the expansion of the village of Spooner Row, I strongly feel that the misrepresentations in this proposal should be noted. The village school has no issue with pupil numbers, and indeed new housing will only lead to increased over subscription for places at this school, which has no room to expand.
Furthermore, there is NO public bus service in the village and a train service so limited it is impossible to work a 9-5 job in either Norwich or Cambridge and commute from Spooner Row. These issues should be corrected or accurately build into any development plan before further go ahead is given. The village will only become overrun with cars and has insufficient safe pathways to cope with this.

Access roads are very narrow from both sides. It would require significant infrastructure improvements to the village. In-fill development that would be detrimental to the character of the village. Spooner Row has flood issues and it would increase the flood risk to existing properties in Station Road.

This proposal will completely urbanise Spooner Row and create a hard edge when approaching from the A11. No infrastructure, no sewage facilities. This represents a totally creeping urbanisation with the loss of good agricultural land.

With respect to site reference GNLP2082, the applicant welcomes the Council's decision that the site represents a suitable site for future residential development. We would stress that the proposals put forward in contrast to recent speculative applications and individual piecemeal development represent an opportunity to help deliver a plan-led future for the village and local community. One that addresses the specific existing and future needs of the village in a manner that reflects the important location of the village, its size and facilities available in the village. We would therefore welcome your support for the inclusion of the above site.
We have also responded to the comments raised in the Site Proposals Document Addendum New, Revised and Small Sites on site reference GNLP2082 and hereby submit a further site on Land South of Station Road, Spooner Row to also be considered in the merging plan.

The proposed scale proportionally represents a huge increase in the number of dwellings within the village and it is unreasonable to expect such a small village with very limited amenity facilities to absorb this amount of houses. This is in addition to the recently completed houses at the Ridings, on Bunwell Road, and the recently permitted houses in the same field as this application. The nature of dense estate development is totally against the historic growth pattern of the village, which is piecemeal development along street frontages. Top Common is inadequate as an access road as too small.
