While there are no designated heritage assets within the site, the grade II listed Old Hall Farmhouse lies immediately to the north west of the site. In addition, the scheduled monument (a hillfort, known as ‘Camp in Village’), lies to the north of the site, which also includes the grade I listed Church of St Mary, and grade II listed war memorial and Rectory. Therefore, any development of this site has the potential to impact upon the significance of these heritage assets. We are particularly concerned about the potential impacts on the Farmhouse, given its proximity.

We welcome the preparation of the HIA.

We note that the capacity of the site has been reduced from 25 to 20 dwellings which is welcomed.

We note that criterion 2 refers to protecting views across the north of the site. Whilst this is not exactly what we had previously suggested (we had suggested an area of open space/orchard/playing field in the north eastern third of the site), we welcome this proposed change and recognise that this is helpful in signalling the importance of protecting the setting of the GII listed Old Hall Farmhouse.

We broadly welcome criterion 4 which recognises the archaeological sensitivity of the area. We suggest a very slight amendment to read:

Norfolk Historic Environment Service to be engaged at an early stage and planning applications supported by archaeological assessment, including the results of field evaluation where appropriate;

I object to the reduction of 5 in the numbers proposed, from the previous number proposed of 25.

I object to the requirement to set aside land for the future expansion of Preston VC CE Primary School, as the Local Education Authority has stated they have no plans to expand the school and no requirement for additional land for that purpose.
