Representation Summary:

There are no designated heritage assets within the site boundary. However, Lilac Farmhouse (grade II listed) lies opposite the site, and Bunwell Manor Hotel and The Cottage, also grade II listed, lie to the north of the site. Any development of the site has the potential to impact on the significance of these designated heritage assets.
We welcome the preparation of an HIA for the site. The HIA makes a number of helpful recommendations for the site. Some of these have been included in the policy (bullet points 1 and 2) but not all.
In bullet point 1 it would be helpful to make clear that the views should link Lilac Farmhouse (grade II) to the open countryside.
The HIA also advises development should be set back from the road frontage to retain an open setting. Add criterion to state this.
Bullet point 2 would be reworded to also reference Bunwell Manor Hotel.

Change suggested by respondent:

Amend bullet point 1 to make it clear that the views should link Lilac Farmhouse (grade II) to the open countryside.
Add criterion to state that development should be set back from the road frontage to retain an open setting.
Bullet point 2 would be reworded to also reference Bunwell Manor Hotel.

Respondent: Anglian Water Services

Representation Summary:

We support the policy requirement to engage with us as early as possible on connections to the vacuum sewer network in Bunwell. However, as raised previously, the small-scale nature of the proposed site should not require a need to determine the capacity of the receiving WRC.

Change suggested by respondent:

Modify policy text to read:

Early engagement with Anglian Water to identify possible infrastructure crossing the site, and the capacity to connect to the current vacuum sewer system.
