Further extension of the Development Boundary to the north of the existing settlement on both sides of the very busy B1332 into open countryside may seem like an easy option to minimise inconvenience and potential impact on the Conservation Area but the number of units in the two proposed developments would double the total number of housing units in the whole of Norwich Road north of High Green / The Street. The proposed site density in depth (both SN0432 REVA & B)would be out of keeping with the adjoining properties to the south.

SN0432REVB This is too small a site to provide well designed properties with reasonable sized gardens - fewer numbers might be acceptable with a shared driveway accessing the B1332 but may not satisfy the promoting developer and / or provide sufficient affordable housing. There are 4 mature trees which need to be protected.
There is no pavement on the west side of Norwich Road so to reach school / shop / bus stop would require crossing this busy road twice -speeding is a problem now which existing measures have failed to control

SN0490 is worth reviewing further to see if previous issues and objections can be overcome. It is much closer to the heart of the village and with better access to the local services and facilities and will avoid the need for further linear extension of the village to the north on what is already a very busy unlit road
SN0020SL should also be looked at again for similar reasons
