Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

We strongly object to the proposed designation of the above site for residential development as, in our view, it is not legally compliant, nor is it sound, for the following reasons:-
1. Distance from village amenities
2. Nearby listed buildings
3. Public utilities at capacity
4. No precedent for development
5. Setting of Old Hall
In the early stages of this consultation over 70 letters or submissions objected to the original proposal. Apart from planning considerations, this is part of an important open landscape overlooking the Yare valley, has amazing wildlife including owls, buzzards and skylarks, and is well used by dog walkers and parishioners. It would be very sad if this land is allowed to be developed and in our view we believe that should not be the case.
