I am exceptionally disappointed that the Reform UK administration at Norfolk County Council plans to eject a farmer off their land at a county farm on Links Road, Hopton/Gorleston in my constituency. All to enable their council owned company to build 446 houses on agricultural land. The land at Links Road has soil which is some of the most productive and versatile in Britain. That land is needed to farm, not build. Great Yarmouth Borough Council’s Development Committee granted planning permission enabling Norfolk County Council to build on this high-grade agricultural land after a heated meeting earlier this year. A shocking decision. It stinks. However, I and my local team of Restore Britain/Great Yarmouth First councillors had hoped the Reform UK administration at Norfolk County Council would take a different view… Despite repeated attempts to privately dissuade the administration from this development, including outlining the concerns of 1,372 people who signed our petition to stop this building on prime farmland, and how Great Yarmouth has already lost hectares of prime farmland to developments across the community without the appropriate infrastructure to cope – Reform will not budge. Norfolk has a rich heritage in farming and these farms play such an important role. To see this high grade agricultural land cemented over and a farmer moved off this land for yet more houses in Great Yarmouth is hugely disappointing. I had hoped for more from Reform in Norfolk. We have tried and tried to resolve this behind the scenes, but we have had no luck. They say one thing in a campaign, and then when in power behave in an entirely different manner. It's just more of the same. So I am going public to put the pressure on and save that farm. We have made it clear we will work with Reform on Norfolk County Council as they need our votes to govern. We have supported their sensible efforts, gladly. But this is NOT sensible, and I am making our opposition to Reform VERY clear. We are examining our legal options. Restore Britain/Great Yarmouth First's aim is to stop those houses and save that farm.
