This section completely understates the impact of the site and is in absolute conflict with Section 16.2 which states "The village is set in the Waveney Valley and adjacent to the Broads, and open views out from the village make an important contribution to its rural character." Maitaining the rural character of the village and avoiding urbanisation should be at the heart of any strategy for Village Clusters. Development of this site would have a permanent devastating impact on the rural outlook to the south and southwest of the village,
The site needs to maintain the inherent rural character of the village, avoiding over-development and urbanisation. Landscaping alone cannot offset the requirement to open views which are characteristic to this rural village location.
