Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
Rural landscapes are undermined. Site assessment focuses unduly on landscape from ‘The Street’ but not from other vantage points in the village, fields and valley.
Natural habitat continuity and wildlife is under threat
Highways compliance: not achievable for safe pathways for pedestrian access and connection to services.
Inclusivity - disabled wheelchair access seems unachievable; VCROC1 encourages more car use into village.
v. Climate change: VCROC1 residents car dependant , safer to drive
vi. Utilities - at capacity for drainage, increase problems, health hazards and increased flooding in the village.
vii Affordability – no evidence, promised in Reg 18 consultations
Evidence affordability allocation for housing
Evidence allocation priority for locals and, at least, Norfolk residents
Evidence concrete ideas for how to make footpaths and connections viable and safe for pedestrians
Show engagement with Anglian Water to ascertain drainage plan and issues - existing settlements subject to water flooding
How encourage residents at site to cycle or walk rather than drive into village?
How safeguard mature trees, wildlife hedging?
How ensure safe vehicular access to and exit from site?
