South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan (Reg. 19 Pre-submission Draft)

Representation ID: 2287

Received: 01/02/2023

Respondent: Mr john Hooper

Representation Summary:

As a community Tacolneston is badly lacking volunteers to serve the community. I believe that some new development could see an injection of new people into the community which would be beneficial to creating a more cohesive community. It is likely that on current demographics the school will in the years ahead see a reduction in numbers. New developments frequently produce more children of primary school age and this would help to future-proof sustainability of the school.

Representation Summary:

Bullet point 6 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 6 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 6 to read ‘Planning applications should be supported by archaeological assessment including the results of field evaluation where appropriate.’

Representation Summary:

Tacolneston Parish Council agree in principle to modest, well planned, development in the village. However, we have concerns on the soundness and appropriateness of these proposals. The proposals are unsound as the plans are inaccurate with anomalies in boundaries, size of plots and a general lack of clarity meaning that meaningful analysis and consultation is not possible.

Change suggested by respondent:

Our first concern is over the proportion of social housing to be included in the development. We ask that any development includes social and market housing, and that housing be targeted at the needs of local people and families.

Secondly, we ask that the development should include a mix of building types, in keeping with existing housing in the area. This would conserve the contour and aspect of the village.

Thirdly, we ask that we be provided with accurate and informative plans and maps. These should give accurate indications of the size of the proposed areas for development and clearly show the proposed and existing settlement boundaries.

Fourthly, we require information on how issues resulting from problems of drainage and increased traffic flow will be managed. Finally, we request an extension of the consultation period to allow for consideration by the council and parishioners of the updated proposals and materials.
