Concerns over the location of the entry road for new estate being in close proximity to existing dwellings access on Church Lane. Highways must consider existing driveway access on Church Lane so that the new development does not create a hazard with driveway access joining/crossing into a T junction. Currently the proposal contradicts the 10m rule that is applied to dropped curb access and T Junctions as started on Norwich County Councils website.

Silverley Properties supports the allocation of this site. The site is available now and would provide a medium sized development that could be built out relatively quickly and early on in the Plan period.

See attached letter and appendices for full comments.

The drainage is inadequate for the existing properties, excluding the 15 already in progress as raw sewage spews into the river. There are also issues with the volume of traffic on very small poorly maintained roads and although the highways have not objected to this I sincerely hope that should there be a fatality on these roads that whoever signs off on this has done their research properly and if not should be challenged legally should this come to pass. Also we have recently been made aware of huge challenges with the electricity to the proposed new development.

The centre of Aslacton contains just 61 houses with 15 more in the process of build and 33 being planned as part of the VCHAP. It is stated by South Norfolk Council that the effects of multiple developments should be considered as a whole and therefore the village centre is in the process of a 78% increase. To do so without increasing the road capacity in the direction of Long Stratton and Norwich renders the proposed development unsound.

The plan is not sound in respect of location VC ASL1, Church Road, Aslacton because:

i) It does not have any support from within the village.

ii) The services available in the village are not sufficient for a 33 house development.

I believe the development cannot be built on the land opposite Cooper Close, off Church Lane as it would not be following NCC highways rules.

Whilst there are no designated heritage assets within the site boundary, there is the grade II listed Church Farmhouse to the south east of the site. However, given the distance and intervening development and vegetation, we consider that the development of the proposed allocation would have limited impact on the setting of the heritage asset.

There has been recent experience through the Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP) examination where the Inspector has questioned the need for a policy requirement that requires wastewater infrastructure capacity confirmation prior to development taking place. Investment at our WRCs is linked to development coming forward with planning permission, so anything with a pre-commencement condition to evidence capacity of the receiving WRC could be problematic, particularly given the small-scale developments in the VCHAP. We suggest that appropriate policy wording is used to encourage developers to contact Anglian Water – similar to that in the GNLP submission version Policy 2 Sustainable Communities.
