South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan (Reg. 18 Draft)

Representation ID: 262

Received: 02/07/2021

Respondent: Mr Geoffrey Lazell

Representation Summary:

Bressingham lacks the necessary infrastructure to support a residential development of any size. and in any location within the existing Settlement Limit. Narrow (and often poorly maintained) roads, combined with inadequate drainage, restricted visibility junctions and a lack of public transport all combine to exacerbate an existential problem, to which any further housing can only add. The village school already operates at maximum capacity and there are few local amenities or services (such as a village pub or health centre) accessible on foot. Rural communities such as this one can accommodate individual, sensitively placed newbuilds, but not substantial developments.
