Representation Summary:

Tacolneston Sites GNLPSL0016/GNLPSL0016Rev/GNLPSL0016RevB should be allocated for one self build' through an settlement extension. The sites overlap, promoted 'Self Build'. The assessments fails to include site history 2021/1044 and 2021/1045 granted during this process. This application offers public/historical asset benefit that could come forward through process. Linking the asset to (AW) drainage (septic tank removal) obtains nitrates compliance in a sustainability location.
I object to highways comment-Access exists (granted 1949). The existing footpath adjacent is 7 m x 35 m (highways) grass verge same side as school.
Tacolneston's local plan extension 2015 included historic benefits within the allocation 2014/0812, similar.

Change suggested by respondent:

Tacolneston should have a settlement extension to include one 'self build' allocated, especially in a sustainable location adjacent to the school when it could support a heritage benefit which may only come forward in this way.
Assess 'self build' and smaller sites fairly without stipulating urban policy .eg Highways policy that footpaths need to be 2 m wide. This does not reflect village characteristics, is detrimental to climate policy. Make sure that assessments are factually correct e.g sites GNLPSL0016REVB does not have a section 4 restriction and no Conservation appraisal is adopted.
