Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan - Alternative Sites & Focused Changes (Reg. 18)

Representation ID: 3735

Received: 05/02/2024

Respondent: Mr Alan Highet

Representation Summary:

Having attended a recent Parish Council meeting (well attended, including our district councillor), I agree with everything the PC proposed to submit.

Googling "housebuilding near Wymondham Abbey rejected" for insight before submitting this, I note that, only two-and-a-bit years ago when praising a planning inspectorate decision to disallow an appeal in nearby Wymondham, George Freeman MP commented about "... housebuilders ..." and "... large scale commuter housing on the outskirts of villages and towns with wholly insufficient infrastructure ... ". Wicklewood's infrasructure is wholly insufficient with potential flooding and many other issues highlighted at the Parish Council meeting.
