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

Representation ID: 2876

Received: 07/03/2023

Respondent: Kirby Cane Parish Council

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

At its meeting on 20th February, Kirby Cane & Ellingham Parish Council took the view that the plan was unsound because it does not fulfil the objective “to protect village communities and support rural services and facilities” because there was no indication that wider services such as health and education, already under significant strain, would be improved, and also fails to comply with the duty to co-operate as it does not take account of the concerns of the community about this.
Also, residents voiced concerns about whether the sewage system could deal with existing demand, let alone 25 more properties.

Change suggested by respondent:

Greater attention needs to be paid to these wider service and infrastructure issues at local, regional and national level to take an holistic approach to development.
