South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan (Reg. 18 Draft)

Respondent: Dr G M Courtier
The blue hatched area (not labelled SN0526, formerly GNLP0526?) is outside the Roydon development boundary and unsuitable for residential housing. It encroaches into the Waveney Valley with difficult highway access, infrastructure loading, nugatory environmental effects on Roydon Fen, destroying amenity assets for Roydon Village and location. The site has received many disapproving comments from the Roydon Community during DDNP surveys, and was also rejected from earlier GNLP consultations, involving public bodies representing both Suffolk and Norfolk. Any need to allocate housing development beyond 1-2 per year in Roydon overe the next 15 years needs serious re-appraisal.

In Summary, Roydon residents overwhelmingly rejected site SN0526 multiple times during the DDNP consultation process. Roydon Parish Council are actively telling residents NOT to reply to this VCHAP questionnaire and refuse to formally submit any new recommendations in case the DDNP falls through. If proposed developments on combined Roydon & Diss land go ahead then residents have fought for this to have our allocation met rather than continuing to give away our Parish land to Diss allocations.

This site had been rejected on several occasions but still gets put forward which is wrong on all levels of democracy.

SN0526 development is totally unacceptable to the village. It will cause negative impacts on;
Village life, we do not want to be a town. Highways are already fast flowing and congested. The Roydon Fen, an asset to the community will be disturbed beyond repair and dark skies diminished - as well as existing properties and villagers in the vicinity having their green spaces developed for greed.

The site proposed is totally unsuitable and was rejected by the former plan, it is too close to the fen and would cause an undesirable impact on it, the access to the busy A1066 is highly unsuitable, the village has no infrastructure to support additional homes, the school was enlarged mainly to satisfy diss, there are also plans for diss to build homes on Roydon land, there are more suitable places to build but the infrastructure inadequacy remains, Roydon is not a service village.

• I object to the SN0526 High Road site for many reasons as given in my full response.
• The settlement boundary should be the same as the hard fought for Parish boundary, and any and all properties built on Roydon land should count as Roydon's housing quota, not Diss.
• Roydon Parish Council and our DDNP Representatives have actively discouraged engagement with this VCHAP consultation.
• Roydon residents have emphatically rejected site SN0526 THREE times. Please listen to residents views and wishes on this matter.
Thank you.

In conclusion, the site that you have active is not suited for building and definitely not favoured in the eyes of the residents of Roydon, and the many groups included. This therefore shows that there is a strong resistance to this site being developed.

I object to site SN0526 being developed for housing, and any changes to the Settlement Limit that would entail. It is a greenfield site for which adverse comments have been presented separately. Introducing housing there runs contrary to all fundamental constraints from sustainable development, climate change, local infrastructure requirements, habitat diversity needs, and historic village conservation, as objections to site GNLP0526 have indicated previously.
Potential allocation of GNLP0119 and GNLP0291, lying within the parish boundary for Roydon, but outside the current settlement boundary, would also require changes to the Settlement Limit there, and would represent undesirable block development.

Loss of habitat to wildlife if the buildings went ahead.
Impact on night sky, this is a dark area and housing would cause light pollution.
This would cause a negative impact on Roydon Fen.
Traffic on the A1066 would increase and traffic exiting/entering proposed sight would make this road more dangerous.
Negative impact on already over stretched infrastructure.
The Watertower is a local landmark with its history and heritage and must be maintained.

I object to development of land north of Roydon Fen SN0526
As a SSSI site any development must take into consideration the impact on extremely rare fen habitat.

Sn0526 should not be built on due to the following reasons:-
The natural vista of the land will be spoilt.
The dark skies will be.polluted
The bungalows will be over looked by houses
Extra traffic pollution will be created
The A1066 will be further congested
The villagers will be further hampered when trying to cross the already over subscribed A1066
There are other sites which can be considered above and beyond this site of natural beauty

The DDNP is in full support of South Norfolk Council’s approach through VCHAP of delegating authority to the DDNP to make site allocations that meet the indicative housing requirement for the villages of Roydon, Burston and Scole. The DDNP is currently at the Regulation 14 stage.
