Respondent: Mr Philip Ellis

Representation Summary:

Part of SN0531 adversely affects the linear and rural nature of RSM, the landscape and townscape, its context to The Broads and heritage assets.

It is readily visible on a high ridge, is backland development, not sustainably located having a negative environmental impact.

Reducing the units due to heritage assets and landscaping set-back from NIH, the combined sites do not meet "viability assessment" profitability tests increasing pressure for larger developments or reduced Affordable Housing, becoming a "Trojan Horse" for further backland development.

The footpath proposed is unnecessary being distant from amenities adding an unnecessary crossing to one existing at ECC.
