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

Representation ID: 1632

Received: 29/07/2021

Respondent: Ms Eileen Fife

Representation Summary:

Important to them will be the Strategic Gap between them and Harleston and each other.
Harleston is equally keen to be separate.
Harleston and Starston complement each other. We have a Conservation Area and open space for healthy exercise.They have shops, doctors, school, etc., and pavements. Our footpaths cross and alongside fields are only suitable for rambling and mainly accessed from narrow, winding, undulating roads with speeding traffic. Cycling here can be hazardous. Most households have at least one cat. I support rejection of SN2001SL.

With regards to dwellings - according to the Village Clusters Plan, S. Norfolk will consider
a) conversion of redundant buildings
b) exception sites
c) infill
d) 3 windfall sites in or outside settlement boundaries
It concerns me that the Starston Draft Neighbourhood Plan would replace d) with 10 houses.
I support the South Norfolk Village Clusters Plan for Starston as the less bad option.
