Wicklewood Parish Council repeats its previous submitted view that an estate development like this in a small village will alter the whole character of the village which has previously developed by small developments which are more easily integrated into the community.
The Parish Council would support smaller, infill, road front developments which would be better integrated

The noted for this allocation state that there is precedent for development to the south of Hackford Road. Where is this development? The only thing to the south of Hackford Road is the school. Yet another inaccuracy by SNDC.
No to this allocation

This planned policy increases the proposed development site in size from its previous draft. It exceeds the definition of small and medium sized sites stated by the NPPF.
The proposed plan of up to 30 dwellings will not enhance the village. There is no other development of this size currently in the village therefore it is not in keeping with character of the village settlement.
The proposed soft landscaping of the site will not protect the extensive landscape views.
A smaller scale development would be more appropriate in a less prominent position in the landscape.

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. School lacks capacity and any “temporary” accommodation would 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. Landscaping is hardly the issue.
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). There's already a published desire for significant extension to whatever is allowed in the proposed plan - and that will destroy the ambience and character of Wicklewood as a traditional Norfolk village. My comments elsewhere in this submission are all relevant, and having attended a recent Parish Council meeting I agree with their views.
