Respondent: Geldeston Parish Council

Residents of Geldeston and its Parish Council have reservations about the site for further building preferred by South Norfolk Council, “Site No. SN0437, Land off Kells Way”. Based on their concerns (see below, “Detail and Argument”) The Parish Council wishes to put forward the following requirements:
[1] NO HOUSES should be built on the preferred site until the Anglian Water pumping station below the Kells Estate has been replaced or upgraded;
[2] after requirement 1. is met, up to five -- certainly no more than 10 -- houses might be built on site No. SN0437, but only if effective measures are taken to reduce the hazards to all residents from AN INCREASED NUMBER OF MOTOR VEHICLES passing through Kells Meadow and along Kells Way;
[3] similar proposals for densely built-up housing were made under the Local Development Framework in 2003. Our concerns at the time about THE IMPACT ON PARISH INFRASTRUCTURE of any expansion in housing were not answered.
We shall therefore send a copy of this submission to all appropriate bodies, e.g., Anglian Water (Waveney district) in Peterborough, and the Highways Department at County Hall in Norwich.
