Respondent: Mulbarton Parish Council

Where will the children from the new houses on this preferred site go to school? Where will the families access medical facilities? Development on this site will simply add to the cumulative impacts on the village of Mulbarton, already unacceptable.
Having drawn the settlement boundary, why is this proposed development outside of it?
• The site extends into the countryside, outside the built area, adding yet more cumulative impact onto the fast disappearing but highly valued rural area surrounding Mulbarton.
• It is contrary to the adopted Mulbarton Neighbourhood Plan
- not well located in terms of access to services and facilities. Access would be via a narrow road through an existing estate
Extra traffic generated would need to exit the site through the existing estate onto Long Lane, and joining the 20mph restricted zone around the primary school.
There is already a deficit of amenity land on the Bluebell Road estate. The proposed housing density of 23 units per hectare would not reduce the overall density of the estate.
The design of the site should be laid out to prevent any further expansion eastward.
Mulbarton School is FULL
The local secondary school at Hethersett is at present oversubscribed
Medical facilities with the village are already overwhelmed
