I note we have been asked to comment on the "South Norfolk Village Cluster Housing Allocation Plan" but I fail to see how this can be classed as a "Plan".
I keep reading these kind of documents from various councils, all prepared with the help of expensive consultants, but they never tackle the real questions that effect the people who will have to live with the consequences.
There are various comments about the need for foot paths, public transport. utilities, Doctors, Dentists, Schools, etc., etc., recognizing there should be a need to discuss these matters, but as usual there are no definite proposals.
It must be possible for planners, consultants and councilors to realize that before anyone can give a considered response to any proposals there need to be definite plans explaining when the necessary services would be provided and completed before any extra housing as started.
Anything other than this is once again causing insult to the public who are being asked to comment and also causing immediate negative reaction.
I would suggest these documents are withdrawn until they have been prepared properly and there complete definite proposals are in place to comment on.
