South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan (Reg. 19 Pre-submission Draft)
Representation ID: 2644

Respondent: Norfolk Wildlife Trust
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
Representation Summary:
This allocation is in close proximity to Swardeston Common CWS which is well used for recreation and has a network of paths running through it. (2 of the ponds in this CWS have been severely affected by run-off from the road.) The allocation for approx.. 30 dwellings could potentially cause additional adverse impacts on this CWS due to increased visitor pressure.
Change suggested by respondent:
Policy wording should reflect the proximity to the CWS and any application should review any potential indirect disturbances to it in an ecological assessment.
