Representation Summary:

SN2006SL
The land is presently unused, and has been for many years, although in the past it has been the site of a thatched cottage. The site falls geographical within the village, but at present, is outside the village boundaries. The site would be ideal for a small development of three to four houses /bungalows.

The site sits high above the road, and is not liable to flooding, and with properties either side, it is classed as infill.

A pavement, which runs the whole length of the village and, in fact, into Harleston, is wide enough for two abreast. There are bus stops either side of the road, with good links into Harleston, Bungay and Diss, and it is also on the school bus route.

The site would surely benefit from being developed, and can only enhance the area, support of wortwell parish Council, and District Councillor Jeremy savage. So rather than a neglected piece of land which no one can see or use, a small development, causing minimum disruption, can only improve the area. All services are available within the street adjoining the site.
