Greater Norwich Local Plan Gypsy and Traveller Sites Focused Consultation

Representation ID: 24961

The local infrastructure, schools, doctors, dentists and social care is already stretched to the maximum with new housing developments being rapidly built in Acle, Brundall and Blofield the introduction of potentially 30 families changing on a regular basis I believe is putting too much of a strain on local services.
The planning consent for 30 sites directly contravenes the Governments own guidelines on how the building of a traveller site should not overwhelm the surrounding population's size and density. Given that there are only 3 dwellings in the immediate vicinity this disproportionate.
