Representation ID: 296

Respondent: Mr Brian Falk

Representation Summary:

Agreed as the primary development site with a considerable landscaped belt between new housing and The Pines and the back gardens of housing on the High Road. Additional parking for the school should not be permitted on this site. Any additional school parking needed should be taken from Amenity Site B which should also be allocated for extended school playing fields. A lower number of dwellings would be preferable.
It is also essential that design, layout and appearance, be unique and village oriented and not another spate of standard builders’ house designs.
Then dependent on both future plan-wide and local community needs for further development sites it is suggested development could be be in this order of preference:
1. Preferred Site 1 SN3037 (part): (would allow approx. 50 dwellings)
This site would develop in depth the new Bressingham settlement cluster and would require access from School Road. It should include a broad landscaped belt along the A1066, and at the back of the houses on School Road.
2. Preferred Site 1161 (from 2011 plan): (would allow approx. 35 dwellings) This site develops the Common Road cluster in depth.
3. Preferred Site SN 4037: (would allow 12 dwellings) but only to be included if absolutely essential and justified by local housing need as, although development in depth, it is also an extension of ribbon development along Fersfield Road. But preferable if this site were not to be developed
