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

Representation ID: 1492

Received: 02/08/2021

Respondent: Hales & Heckingham Parish Council

Representation Summary:

No. The JCS allocated Hales and Heckingham 10 new houses. To date 70 dwellings have been built and 20 more approved. During that time no investment has been made to improve village infrastructure. Amenities are extremely limited with no village hall. Heckingham Park was built with fitness facilities for residents but no access for other members of the village. This approach does not protect village communities or support rural services/facilities. No investment was made to improve broadband delivery to existing houses. The village is a mobile “not spot”. Further development without investment in existing village infrastructure increases social problems.
