A coastal parish council has said it "cannot support" plans to build 1,100 homes after it lodged its formal objections to the proposal.

Caister Parish councillors voted unanimously against the plans stating public services, including health provision, police and local sewage works, and general infrastructure were already under pressure.

The vote follows Great Yarmouth Borough Council's draft Local Plan identifying land for housing at Nova Scotia Farm, west of the coastal Norfolk village.

Included in the draft document are major development sites such as 1,100 homes west of Jack Chase Way in Caister, 600 on land off Links Road in Gorleston and 300 homes in Beacon Park, Bradwell.

The plan is in addition to consent granted to Persimmon Homes in July 2022 for 665 homes on a nearby site off Jack Chase Way.

It says plans will "have a detrimental effect on everyone for that reason Caister Parish Council cannot support the proposed additional 1,100 houses on top of the 600 plus already given planning. Hopefully the Borough Council will listen".

They say that the doctors and chemists are "at or near" full capacity, and there are existing issues with the school population and there is already "an ongoing" problem with sewage "smell" and sewage being dumped into the sea.

They add there are highway issues, policing issues in the area, and not enough space.

It is said that the two developments "could increase the population of Caister by 5,000 or 6,000 people".

MP Rupert Lowe added support to the parish council in its objection to the development.

In a message to the parish council, Mr Lowe said: "I fully support your decision to oppose these vast house-building plans, and will do whatever I can to fight them alongside you. It is simply too much - enough is enough."
