South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan (Reg. 18 Draft)
Representation ID: 1094
Received: 31/07/2021
Respondent: Ms Sue Knights
Representation Summary:
The site fails objectives to protect the village character and setting. It destroys countryside, views, blocks footpaths, effects wildlife, and increases pollution.
The village 'Gateway' is not enhanced but urbanised.
The site is separated from the village by a busy road, is outside the stated boundary of the village, and cannot be classed as in-fill housing.
Further development of the site would lead to a redefined village size and layout.
30 houses adds a disproportionately dense and high number of homes in a small area.
The proposal exceeds the target of 12-25 houses.
Development blocks any expansion of the school.
