Support the principle but care needs to be taken to ensure that these requirements don’t simply repeat and contradict policies n the GNLP and Development Management Policies.
- 'minimising the impact on the amenity of existing residents': this repeats existing requirements set out in Policy DM 3.13 Amenity, noise and quality of life, and should be deleted.
- 'landscaping consistent with a rural, edge of village location, taking into account the South Norfolk Landscape Character Assessments': this repeats Policy DM 4.5 Landscape Character and River Valleys.
- 'provision of open space on sites of 15+ dwellings': this repeats Policy DM3.15: Outdoor play facilities and recreational open space and the Guidelines for Recreation Provision in New Residential Developments SPD.
