Representation Summary:

Site is too big based on NPPF guidelines quoted in section A.7 of SNVCHAP Reg. 19: “Paragraph 69 of the NPPF notes the importance of small and medium sized sites up to 1 hectare in size, in contributing to meeting housing needs.” Even taking off 0.4 hectares for a village green of 1 acre (per the Preliminary Plan drawing DR-A-1000) this leaves a site of 1.9 hectares. The number of dwellings should also be reduced to reflect the 14 dwellings at Coopers Close (permission reference 2020/0493), and the granted permission (reference 2020/0751) for 9 dwellings at Orchard Farm, Great Moulton.

Change suggested by respondent:

Size of site and number of dwellings should be reassessed and reduced, or the village green should be made significantly larger, or a large area of natural habitat / nature reserve should be created.
