This site constitutes a large extension to the existing settlement which will cause a change in the landscape character and setting of the village. It would be beneficial for this to be a landscape led scheme, with key consideration given to the boundary vegetation. The Norfolk Broads are situated to the north, this is an important context in terms of the landscape and visual impacts of the development, as well as considering wider habitats. A public right of way crosses the western end of the site and runs along the entire south-western and southern boundaries. Access along the Public Right of Way must remain at all times, should access be proposed on to the Public Rights of Way discussion should be had with Norfolk County Council Public Rights of Way and Highways team. There is also a pond to the north of the site which may require further surveys before development.
