Legally compliant? Yes

Representation Summary:

Policy does not mention assessing the potential impact on the Broads.

Change suggested by respondent:

2nd bullet point of the policy needs to mention assessing potential impact on the Broads, as is written in para 16.17.

Where it says in 2nd bullet point there is a need for a fill Landscape Assessment, is that a LVIA? Does it need to mention the term LVIA to make it clear what is required? For example, this policy talks about a Landscape Assessment whereas policy VC ROC1 talks about a Landscape and Visual Impact Appraisal. Why the difference?

Representation Summary:

This proposal will only make matters worse along "The Street" in Gillingham on the dangerous ninety degree bend where it is not only "single file" traffic but also a bling ninety degree with cars parked on the road. Anyone in these new dwellings will need use that bend to get to Beccles for any shopping etc.

Change suggested by respondent:

Don't build there

Representation Summary:

There are no designated heritage assets on site. However, the site is adjacent to the Gedleston Conservation Area. There is also a pair of grade II listed cottages to the west of the site at West End. Any development of the site has the potential to impact on the significance of these designated heritage assets.
We welcome the preparation of the HIA. The HIA recommends that development needs to respect the form and layout of the Kells Estate. This is reflected in criterion 2.
Bullet point 4 states that the HER should be consulted to determine the need for any archaeological surveys prior to development. In our view, some assessment is needed to inform any planning application.
We therefore advise that bullet point 4 should be amended to read, ‘Planning applications should be supported by archaeological assessment including the results of field evaluation where appropriate.’

Change suggested by respondent:

Amend criterion 4 to read ‘Planning applications should be supported by archaeological assessment including the results of field evaluation where appropriate.’

Representation Summary:

We consider this form of development that is part of the draft allocation for this village, led by the green credentials of the locality would result in tangible benefits for the community and provide housing in a holistic and sustainable way in order to create a vibrant and resilient community and support the move to a post-carbon economy. Government has recognised the role that residential development can have in achieving sustainability and creating communities, where there is no choice between quality and quantity and green spaces amount to more than token verges and squares.

Change suggested by respondent:

We are seeking amendments to the policy to increase the potential number of units on the site. Having undertaken some initial work on the site, we believe that the site is capable of delivering up to 25 units. This is in accordance with paragraph 119 of the NPPF which seeks to ensure the effective use of land in meeting the need for homes and other uses. Plans confirming that up to 25 units can be accommodated on the site, accompany these representations as separate documents showing an illustrative site layout, and a concept layout with opportunities and constraints.
