We are supportive of the preferred site allocation of this site for up to 25 dwellings on a site of 1 hectares. It would appear as a natural extension to the built form, and sit neatly into an extended settlement boundary for the village. In support of the proposed allocation, an indicative plan is submitted as part of these representations in support which highlight hoe the site could be developed.
The land is currently available for development.
It should be noted that planning permission was previously granted at the site for the erection of 8 no. dwellings, although this has since lapsed (LPA Reference 2017/1321). A hybrid planning application is currently under consideration by South Norfolk District Council which seeks outline planning permission for 5 no. dwellings at land west of Queensland, and full planning permission for 3 no. dwellings at land west of Queensland.
Acceptable highways and footpath provision
Utilities - is not considered that there is any fundamental impediment to the delivery of the site through any constraints relating to utilities capacity.
Accessibility to Services - Spooner Row is currently designated as a Service Village. The village has a range of services.
No flood issues
Historic environment - A number of listed buildings are located within the wider area. is not considered that the proposed development would have a significant detrimental effect upon the significance of the buildings, or their settings by virtue of the distance of separation and intervening built form of the village, and landscaping.
