A developer will not be able to easily comply with these requirements, due to the plot layout. In order to get a minimum of twelve dwellings, they'd either have to be terraced, or grouped as semi-detached, which is completely at odds with the existing housing layout

Building new houses on first class agricultural land away from all facilities and services is not likely bring any kudos for S.N.C.
As already discerned distance to nearest Primary School is over 5 kms with no public transport existing. All other important services, Secondary School, Local Healthcare, Retail services are over 10 kms from this site. Peak time Public Transport does not exist so there would have to be many more car journeys along Staithe Road, a narrow rural road without pedestrian footways much to the detriment of our climate change precautions.

We support this allocation for 12 dwellings in a sustainable rural location. It can be delivered in line with the policy wording below and, subject to viability, will deliver much-needed affordable housing for local people. The village is outside the Nutrient Neutrality catchment, meaning this allocation is deliverable in the short term and could compensate for under-delivery elsewhere in the District, much of which is within the catchment.

For consistency we recommend that there is a similar approach in requiring early engagement with Anglian Water, as taken with other site allocations where there is a very small WRC serving only a small proportion of properties within a settlement.

We welcome the policy wording for hedgerows/trees in Policy VC ROC. We recommend that similar policy wording is applied to the policies listed below to ensure this approach is applied consistently across the Local Plan. Where removal of a tree or any part of a hedgerow is unavoidable, we recommend that policy wording includes reference to mitigation measures, reflecting the updated biodiversity duty required in the 2021 Environment Act to have regard to the enhancement of biodiversity.
