The proposed development contradicts the SNVC objective 3 to “protect the historic environment, including protected landscapes”. Sufficient consideration has not been given to South Norfolk’s own 2017 Bawburgh Conservation Area Character Appraisal. The location and scale of the proposed site will be clearly visible from the higher ground of the valley, spoiling the “longer views of the area on approach from the south side” and significantly impacting the preservation of the setting of this historic village and its “landscape of more dramatic contours”.
The plan is not in keeping with the rural landscape of the historic village of Bawburgh.
