Objecting to a planning application can seem daunting if you haven't done it before but here are some tips to make it easier for you:
- Consider the impact of the proposed development on you and the things you care about, which could include: visual impact on the landscape; detrimental effect of the development on wildlife and wildlife habitats; increased traffic in your village and increased road hazards; risk of pollution to water systems including the River Wensum; increased flood risk due to building on the flood plain; noise and light pollution; security risks associated with a large influx of non-residents to the area. You may have certain issues that you feel most strongly about and you may have other concerns not mentioned above. This is your chance to voice them before it's too late!
- You may make your objection online by clicking any of the "Say No Here" buttons on this site, which take you to the comment form on the Breckland District Council website. All comments will be published on their website for others to read.
