Search the Public Notice PortalThose living in one of Norfolk's fastest-growing towns fear they are going to endure "endless noise" if another huge housing estate is approved.
Fed-up neighbours in Wymondham's Norwich Common have had enough of the disruption caused by the number of homes being built in the town.
They have hit out at the noise created by the construction of the estates, but are now bracing themselves for more misery if plans for 595 houses are backed.
One neighbour said: "We have just recently endured four years of building on the Elm Farm Persimmon estate.
"Now we are expected to endure yet more years of endless noise."
The town council has also shared its concerns, warning its roads, schools and health services are at breaking point.
It fears the infrastructure will not survive if the plans by Gladman Developments for Norwich Common get the go-ahead.
The authority’s planning committee fears a ‘strategic gap’ between Wymondham and nearby Hethersett would be destroyed by more urban sprawl across the countryside.
Should the controversial application be approved, the council wants improvements to its roads to be a priority.
Those pleas include measures to divert traffic from the A11, which is at the back of the planned site.
Neighbours say the roads around the proposed scheme already struggle with the amount of cars which use it every day.
Objecting to the scheme, one neighbour said: “Entering and exiting my drive can be difficult and stressful.
“There have been occasions where I have had near misses involving vehicles, cycles and pedestrians.”
Jonathan Purle, Conservative councillor for Central Wymondham, previously criticised the scheme, saying the town has done its fair share of house building.
“People are incensed by it," he said.
“It feels like Wymondham has done its bit and at some point the powers that be can’t keep building here.”
The Tory councillor launched a petition opposing the scheme last month. It has so far been signed by more than 1,100 people.
