Apart from the obvious the facility/infrastructure in Aslacton can not withstand more house.s. We already have 14 dwelling going in opposite this site. The drains across the village get block every time we have rain and causes flooding. The roads are narrow and get congested especially at school times. There is no shop, pub, play ground etc. There are no street lights or foot paths around the village and very limited public transport. This is a rural village, predominantly made up of older people and needs to stay that way.

We are a small rural community. There are 14 houses being built immediately opposite the proposed site and that is enough. There is no infrastructure to support any more development. The roads are narrow and get congested at school drop and pick up. The road regularly floods at the junction with Muir lane. Aslacton is a small quiet rural community and we’d like it to stay that way.

I fully support the development of this site as it consolidates the hub of the village.
I would request that the developer provides a village Hall and a village green in their plans so we may breathe more life into our local community. At present there is an area adjacent to the development area as shown in the plan that could provide the space for a hall and green which would seem uneconomical to farm.

The provision of up to 25 new dwellings will ultimately mean the addition of more vehicles on the already narrow roads surrounding Aslacton and Great Moulton. With an average of 2 cars per property this could amount to 50 extra vehicles or more.
It is likely that in peak times cars will use Carr Lane and High Green.
Great Moulton Parish Council would therefore request that prior to the development of this site, Norfolk County Council Highways department seriously consider reducing the speed limit on Carr Lane to 30mph or at most 40mph.

In response to question 14 of the Consultation Document, Silverley firmly support the Council’s decision to identify ‘Land off Church Road, Aslacton’ (Local Plan Ref: SN0459) as a ‘Preferred Site’. As demonstrated in the attached representations, there is a genuine opportunity to create a new sustainable landscape-led scheme to the east of Aslacton. The Site is available immediately, whilst the supporting technical work has demonstrated that potential environmental effects, relating to issues such as highways, landscape and heritage impact can be addressed and would not act as a barrier to the early delivery of this Site.

Not aware of any significant land quality issue with this site or adjacent land. However, having regard to the size of the site and sensitivity of the proposed development it is considered that a Phase One Land Contamination Report (Desk Study) should be required as part of any planning application.

Due to the size of this development and its proximity to existing dwellings, an application to develop this site is likely to attract the recommendation that standard planning condition AM05 Construction Management Plan be attached to any approval. It may be worth highlighting to applicants that to avoid any delay in discharging this condition, they may wish to include a Construction Management Plan with their application. If the submitted Construction Management Plan is adequate, the an alternative condition could be attached to any approval requiring its implementation.

Outside the IDD boundary, within the Norfolk Rivers IDB watershed catchment.
Major development - If surface water discharges within the watershed catchment of the Board's IDD, we request that this discharge is facilitated in line with the Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS).

Site SN0459 - Land off Church Road, Aslacton
Whilst there are no designated heritage assets within the site boundary, there is a 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 of the setting of the heritage asset.

SN0459 - Carriageway widening and frontage footway should be required. The footway should extend eastwards to link with the bus stops at Muir Lane.

Respondent: Norfolk County Council - Senior Ecologist

Rating: Green no major ecological constraints identified from desk-top search. Surveys, and biodiversity enhancement in accordance with policy required.
The allocation site is located within an arable field with a hedge (priority habitat) running along the western boundary. The site is located within a strategic Green Infrastructure Corridor which should be considered within the design. A search of MAGIC reveals no other priority habitats onsite. The site is located within a SSSI Impact Risk Zone whereby residential development may require consultation with Natural England. The site is located within the Amber District Level License zone for great crested newts. Applications for planning consent should be accompanied by a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal/Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) which, together with the mitigation hierarchy should inform the design. Consideration should be given to delivering Biodiversity Net Gain.
