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

Representation ID: 2396

Received: 22/02/2023

Respondent: Mr John Lowe

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The site is not at the entrance to the village. That would be opposite the Cherry Tree pub or at the bottom of the High Street near the river bridge.
As such this site is incongruous in its position relative to the village proper

Change suggested by respondent:

Do not build 30 houses on this proposed site.

Representation Summary:

Hackford Rd already threatened by increasingly dangerous/busy traffic (heavier and driving faster) including heavy lorries, supermarket/other deliveries. Otherwise only single-track for miles around. Double bends near the site are unsighted. Site comprises arable fields we need now more than ever. Village facilities/infrastructure inadequate; nearest shop/post-office/doctor/dentist c4 miles, hardly a "short" distance. School lacks capacity and any “temporary” accommodation will be unsightly. Plans exceed existing structure plan boundaries. PC suggests proposals appear to ignore issues noted in previous planning discussions. Numbers now appear modest but more already intimated – thin edge of the wedge. Wicklewood Parish Council’s views are relevant.

Change suggested by respondent:

There's scope for more infill housing. Stick to that as Wicklewood's contribution to the overall plan, as it's within the existing planning boundary (that I understand the proposals aren't). Proposals suggest modest numbers but there's already a published desire for significant extension to whatever is allowed - and that will destroy the ambience and character of Wicklewood as a traditional Norfolk village. My comments at 45.1 are all relevant, and having attended a recent Parish Council meeting I agree with their views.
