Woodton does not have a Post Office, or Shop, and will soon see it's Pub close. It already has a Village Hall and Community Woodland. It therefore has nothing to offer another 50 properties. The existing Primary School could not accommodate the numbers this amount of development would see. The local character and landscape would be severely compromised, and the view from Norwich Road would not be screened by 'established hedgerows and trees'. Woodton is a village and does not need this scale of housing, particularly as the current development is still unsold. More agricultural land loss!
Woodton should be removed from the Plan, but if not the smaller identified sites would be more suitable. Site numbers should be limited to 5 to 10 houses maximum.
