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

Representation ID: 2491

Received: 27/02/2023

Respondent: Collins & Coward Limited

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The allocation of 35 units at Bawburgh (BAW1) is not sustainable. It will not enable the village to grow and thrive. The school is over-subscribed. The local doctors surgery, the Humbleyard Practice in Hethersett, is over-subscribed by 5,000 people. Bawburgh is not part of a cluster of nearby villages as confirmed by Council officers in their briefing to Parish Councils on 26.01.2023. Answer to Question 25: "The village is not clustered with others...". The allocation is unsound and fails para 79 of the NPPF.

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

Representation ID: 2804

Respondent: Bunwell Parish Council

Legally compliant? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

SNC must ensure the right number and mix of dwellings in addition to the Cluster Sites around primary schools. With electric vehicles coming on stream more and more, car pollution will be of reducing concern. Primary schools and their locations should not be to the exclusion of more windfall sites outside of these locations and settlement limits, where they are seen of benefit to the village. We appreciate that Affordable Housing is not included in the cap but the 3/5 windfall allocations are insufficient to offer the required choice in the buyer market and to inject the necessary village vitality.

Change suggested by respondent:

The number of windfall dwellings for Bunwell (5), excluding Affordable Housing and some self build, is inadequate for the projected period.
It should be specifically stated that some flexibilty of Windfall Housing numbers will be considered where seen by the local parish council and local authority to be justified and required.

Policy 79 (previously 55) is to restrictive not enabling communities to build 3 bedroom houses that can meet the characteristics of the rural community and offer outstanding architecture that's achievable and affordable.
Planning within the community adjacent to other property should not be restricted as considered 'isolated' APP/L2630/W/18/3197272

Change suggested by respondent:

Remove Policy 79 which SNDC continually use to restrict planning/windfall sits from coming forward.
