The village cannot sustain any further development due to localised flooding. We have been flooded twice in the last three years. Further development will only make this worse. The village has poor road drains, poor ditches and building on fields will take away flood plains.

A long and detailed study, not just a short visit, to see the already difficult traffic conditions through this village. It is very concerning with the number of large lorry movements and parking for the Boars and the primary school, station issue. My comment in 12a explains my concerns.

As advised in our previous response, Bullet point 5 states that the HER should be consulted to determine the need for any archaeological surveys prior to development.
In our view, some assessment is needed to inform any planning application.
We therefore advise that bullet point 5 should be amended to read, ‘Planning applications should be supported by archaeological assessment including the results of field evaluation where appropriate.’

An increase to 35 dwellings from 15 dwellings proposed at Reg. 19.
As previously advised in our Reg. 19 representation, the written justification and WCS suggest, there is limited capacity regarding future connections to our foul drainage network given that the existing WRC only serves a small number of properties in the settlement with the remainder having private treatment plants/septic tanks.
The supporting text should emphasise that Spooner Row WRC is constrained due to the small number of properties it serves.
Any allocation policies should therefore reference early engagement with Anglian Water to address future connection requirements or the developer to consider alternative on-site treatment subject to the necessary permits.

We support the following policy wording and recommend that this is retained – “Appropriate landscaping of the north and west boundaries, to contain the development and integrate it with the wider countryside, and the protection and enhancement of the existing vegetation along the south west boundary”.

Spooner Row Community Council asks that any planning considerations for the village take into account the recent flooding in the Bunwell Road/Queen Street area, and work towards increasing safety particularly for pedestrians.
