South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan (Reg. 18 Draft)

Representation ID: 1020

Received: 31/07/2021

Respondent: Tharston and Hapton Parish Council

Representation Summary:

The Parish Council opposes any development on this site. It has dreadfully limited access ,on a busy road with a dangerous blind corner.
Footpath from site to school does not exist - only from corner of No. 3, The Street.
Document mentions "substantial tree and hedge planting" in parish, yet proposes removing hedge planted along the road, which is well established.
Lack of village services means anyone living in new affordable housing will need a car to access services - therefore not affordable living.
Water pressure at this end of the Street is too low to support additional properties.
Facilities further afield (i.e. Secondary School and Doctor’s Surgery in Long Stratton) are already at or near capacity.
