councillors reluctantly support this site as area along road-side has already been developed. However, strong proviso that existing highways issues must be resolved. Blind corner near school dangerous and part of staggered crossroads, then immediately blind corner alongside play area, road is narrow and has speed limit change 30mph to 60mph (past the very busy entrance to the play area/playground) to 30mph. These issues need to be resolved to make another development along this busy stretch of road safe. If site goes forward, councillors believe there should be provision for affordable housing, including a requirement for access for local people.

Councillors were unable to support this site. Their view is that it is “bolted on” in an inappropriate manner, access onto Old Yarmouth Road would be poor, it is located on the road to the quarry, and the field is subject to regular flooding. It is also a possible site of historical interest, Roman artefacts have been found there and it is also a site of social historical interest concerning the agricultural development of the region.

councillors would support this site, with caveat that road access arrangements must be resolved, and this is not just the immediate access road but also the corner of Mill Lane and Mill Road, which is of great concern to residents. Reason for support is that there is an existing small development adjacent to this site, and it is more contiguous with the existing development of the village, although it is still outside the Settlement Limit. If site does go forward for development, councillors believe there should be a provision for affordable housing, including a requirement for access for local people.

SN0303SL & SN0304
Either could take traffic away from busy main village, provided appropriate traffic improvements for Mill Lane/Mill Road junction/corner - councillors couldn't understand why these sites rejected when Florence Way site preferred.

SN0306 would support in principle, on existing building line, could make sensible extension to existing nearby development.

Any successful site must have provision for affordable local housing

SN0019SL (Cllr M Skipper declared interest, took no part in discussion) could see no reason why this site rejected as already has a large garage in regular use so proposed single dwelling would not add traffic to the village.
