This is an unwarranted and inappropriate development of a site which will cause ecological harm. It beggars belief that South Norfolk Council is enabling large scale housebuilding on our precious countryside. This developer is not motivated to tackle the housing crisis. Their main motivation, unsurprisingly, is to maximise their profits. This can be seen from their constant building on greenfield sites, despite enough brownfield land being available.
These are flawed proposals. The Village Cluster approach to housing distribution proposed is neither necessary nor desirable. It is unnecessary because the housing need requirement, together with a reasonable buffer, can be met without the need to disperse development in this way. It is undesirable because the additional dispersal of housing that will be generated via village clusters will cause an unnecessary loss of countryside and be more environmentally damaging than an approach in which development is concentrated in and near to Norwich.
