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

Representation ID: 1650

Received: 30/07/2021

Respondent: Wreningham Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Village has already had fair share of development. There are other infill opportunities for more appropriate development. Proposal is completely out of context/scale for the village.
Village character: site is at odds with existing linear development of Wreningham.
Flooding: there is regular flooding of gardens/roads along Wymondham Road and Ashwellthorpe Road.
Rurality/ecology: rurality of village should be maintained with no loss of trees, hedges, habitats and ditches. Proposal would have a detrimental impact.
Highways: all roads into Wreningham have considerable highways constraints.
Footpaths: Plan discusses a footpath from the site to school. If implemented, would reduce road width and increase risk to road users.
School: currently at capacity.
Site might be more suitably located immediately behind The Poplars site on Ashwellthorpe Road.
