Respondent: Wroxham Parish Council
The village does not require another speculative development of larger family detached dwellings. Wroxham is overwhelmingly chosen by its residents as a retirement village and has a population substantially older than most similar sized communities in the GNLP area. We have an urgent demand for retirement properties, bungalows and apartments in the village for existing residents to downsize into while they remain in the village. This would help free up sizeable properties in the heart of Wroxham currently occupied by one or two elderly people. This site would be ideal for this purpose.

A development on this scale is unsustainable. This would represent a 50% increase in Wroxham properties already with minimal infrastructural support. It would further increase traffic movement on the A1151 measured by our equipment at 5.5 million vehicle movements per year leading to reduced air quality and unacceptable traffic congestion and split the village community in two. It would threaten the iconic nature of Wroxham as the historic capital of the Broads. The location could be better used for public open space giving the local area and the village a much needed amenity.
