Please refer to detailed representations submitted 6/3/23. In summary, the settlement limit has been sensibly drawn to allow modest infill and extension and we find this to be sound.

The proposed settlement boundary for Saxlingham Nethergate is sound.
The site to the south of Norwich Road (SN4007SL) was submitted for consideration through the Call for Sites process. This was assessed by the local authority and scored ‘green’ or ‘amber’ against all metrics. The only reason it was not proposed as an allocation is because it was deemed suitable for inclusion within the settlement boundary.
The site is in a sustainable location, forming an ‘infill’ gap, with potential to improve the entrance to the village from the north-west, which is currently marked only by a small white gate. It is a logical location for further housing development, and we would encourage the settlement boundary to be maintained in its proposed form within the final submission version of the Plan.
The landowner of this land is able to confirm that the site remains available for development, and that concerns raised through the call for sites assessment process can be addressed through a suitable planning application, subject to the necessary third party consents.
