Comment on number of proposed houses in Horringer. Whilst I understand the need for housing, having seen the development in Fornham All Saints, with a huge number of houses, do we really need to cram hundreds of houses into Horringer and basically turn it into an extension of Bury St Edmunds itself. I strongly object to the plans as put forward presently.

There is a danger of too much development for the available facilities of road, drainage, sewerage and safety.

Option four is unacceptable. Option One is best. Options two and three are less good but have some merits. WS594. In my opinion Horringer is foremost among the city’s villages and would be ruined by future development. Of particular concern to me is SHELLA site WS594 ‘land south-east of Hornbeam Drive’ where an indicative capacity of 120 dwellings is given.

WS112 would impact severely the setting of National Trust owned Ickworth Park. WS111 and WS595 breaches the settlement boundary and the natural boundary of Westley Lane and would act as a precident for future development towards Bury St Edmunds. These sites would impact a critical road junciton with the A143 used as a commuting route between Haverhill and Bury St Edmunds. WS594 would be a major extension into open countryside with additional issues of access, drainage and traffic generation.

Proposal for 345 homes. The addition of 345 homes would result in an additional 793 people (based on the average household size of 2.3 people), an increase of 72%. Horringer is a small village, served by a small, already over-subscribed road and with limited services. Access into the St Leonards estate (Meadow Drive) is frequently over-subscribed due to traffic into the school.

Flooded lands. The area designated WS594 regularly sees flooding and has a high water table due to poor drainage and the presence of several natural springs in the area - you can currently see flooding on Orchard Way due to natural springs. the land is unsuitable for building.

WS113 objection. I understand that at least three applications have been made previously for this horse paddock all of which have been refused - what has changed? I strongly object to the inclusion of WS113 and respectfully ask that WS113 is removed from any further consideration for the following reasons: Would highways allow another access onto the main road (Chevington Road)? A very busy and dangerous road.

Hornbeam Drive,Horringer. I am very concerned for possible new housing development along Hornbeam Drive, Horringer. I live at the bottom of Meadow Drive/Hornbeam Drive. The amount of traffic which goes passed this area has increased incredibly due to the School/pre school and plenty of deliver vehicles every day. There is only one entry road into this large housing estate and if you are considering a new housing development, more vehicles will be increased.
