Respondent: Wortwell Parish Council

The Parish Council and our Local District Councillor have been supporting this ‘infill’ build for some time. It is true that the land sits within a River Valley setting. The entire village of Wortwell sits within a River Valley setting. Development of this site would not lose or detract in any sense from the meadows opposite and would be an ideal place for two or three starter homes to be built in a similar style to the existing cottages.

Standing, as the land does, opposite the main bus stop and school pick up point, close to the main A143 and elevated high enough to never be a risk to flooding; this land is currently rough ground, with very little to favour it as it is used as an overflow for skips and rubbish and is in no way seen as a ‘beauty spot’. However to own and live in a property with the amazing views across the meadows and river the other side of the road would be a stunning place to live. Suitable for people wanting to move into a rural location but still wanting easy access to main road links to Norwich, Ipswich and beyond it is an ideal location for infill.
We would like you to reconsider the rejection of this site as it forms the final piece of a jigsaw for the planning needs of this village.
