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

Representation ID: 2695

Received: 05/03/2023

Respondent: Miss Harriet Thomas

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The site is adjacent to a primary school which already causes traffic and parking issues at pick-up and drop-off times. The pavements along School Road are insufficient at the junction with Church Road, where pedestrians are forced to walk in the road near a blind corner due to lack of pavement. School Road is a popular shortcut to the A143 from Bungay, due to parking on both sides of the main village road providing an obstruction to traffic, the speed at which cars are travelling has lead to the parish council installing speed awareness meters.

Change suggested by respondent:

The council needs to review the entirety of School Road and its environs before adding more outlets to the road, particularly with regards to the safety of children.

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

Representation ID: 2923

Received: 07/03/2023

Respondent: Clayland Architects

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The current access relies upon demolition of The Rectory (Third Party Landowner) for which the deeds, covenants and title documents have been lost prior to 2008. On this basis it would appear to be unsound to allocate a site without a reasonable certainty it can be delivered un-encumbered of legal restrictions and covenants. If the site is delivered, there is a possibility of legal issues and unknown land registry risks for future owners. This issue of third party land ownership is not an issue on other reasonable alternative sites and does not appear to have been considered in this policy.

Change suggested by respondent:

Scale of site reduced to deliver a private driveway access rather than estate road.
