Same goes for most surrounding villages clearly putting on too much weight … Swanton Morley, Scarning, Beetley, Gressenhall and Yaxham for starters. I can’t include Toftwood on any list as it has long been stripped of any individuality and forced to be part of straggling Dereham.
Environmental and social cohesion damage aside, a vast majority of these new “desirable dwellings” go to anyone other than to local people anxious to stay in the area where parents and grandparents found chances to put down roots. “Affordable housing” is now a laughable line simply added to attract favourable votes in council chambers.
