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

Representation ID: 1170

Received: 01/08/2021

Respondent: Yelverton Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Although the size of the site is more in keeping with what we prefer for the Village, access from the extremely narrow Nichols Road is not satisfactory and the site would require extensive landscaping to the side and rear that faces open views of the surrounding landscape.
Site has been farmed for generations so in addition to points made above about negative impacts of destroying greenfield land, this would reduce available land for food production.
There is an established oak tree on the roadside verge which could be lost if the road was widened and/or footpaths extended to serve this site.
