Representation Summary:

The above to respond to the unacceptable Local Plan 2040 is not functioning, therefore I am unable to send in my views, so I will voice them now.
This is a totally unacceptable situation you are putting the village of Wilstead in.
Originally we objected to the 500 you wanted to impose on our village, which thankfully were removed.
NOW you want to impose 2,100 dwellings. This is not what a village is made up of. It would treble the size of the village. If you need to build, build in the Wixam parish not ours.
We also object to being ‘lumped’ with Wixams which is a separate entity and NOT part of Wilstead village.
We will be attending the drop in this Sunday in OUR Wilstead Village Hall and hope and pray enough residents object to this over populated scheme.
Our roads, public services, schools, shops etc will not support this excessive building, together with the reduction of green spaces will impact hugely on residents’ mental health. Something that is paramount to people’s well-being.
