Representation Summary:

SN0174 and SN0196
facilities and in themselves, relatively unconstrained, subject to access from the recently completed Bankside Way development. The most significant constraint is the need to improve the junction of Bell Road with Mill Road and Norwich Road, which requires third party land. To cover the concern on access to SN1074 our Clients have a retained legal right over Bankside Way to provide access to SN0174 and SN0196 for the purpose of further residential development. In addition, the proposal to allocate SN0451 appears to resolve the most significant constraint to development in the village, the Bell Road, Mill Road and Norwich Road junction.
It is interesting to note that the plan does not limit the number of sites to be developed in any one Cluster but rather defines sites as being capable of development accommodating 12 to 50 dwellings or smaller sites resulting from revisions to Settlement Limits.
Our Clients request South Norfolk Council to re-consider its position and allow Barnham Broom to bring forward a Neighbourhood Plan setting out proposals to provide development of up to 125 new dwellings identified in the Reg 18 publication as “Preferred Allocation or Shortlisted” as reasonable Alternatives in the village alongside a range of benefits
