Please refer to attachment for full response.
Our client, who is the owner of site considers that SN0397 could present an option for future growth in Little Melton.
As the assessment notes, the site itself has few constraints and it is considered that an appropriate design could be explored that would reflect this edge of settlement location. There is potential for screening and softening this edge of the village through any development scheme.
In relation to access, investigations are ongoing to establish whether there is an opportunity for an improved route into the site.

Site: SN0399B Land to the east of Winfarthing Road
Owner of site, supports proposed amendment of Shelfanger settlement limit to include part of their land.
The assessment is generally favourable in relation to site and confirms its general suitability for inclusion with amended settlement boundary.
The assessment raises concerns about scale of development proposed. Therefore suggested that site may be more suitable for fewer dwellings, and that 6-8 homes would allow for maximising development potential of the land, whilst responding to local character. The exact number of dwellings would be informed by site investigations set out in the table attached.

SN0390
Owner of site supports proposed amendment of settlement limit to include their land. However, a slight amendment to site area is proposed to enable better access.
Third party land referenced by NCC Highways is within same ownership. The inclusion of the rectory land as part of wider site would provide a suitable access onto School Lane. Site is of sufficient scale to enable replacement dwelling for clergy to be on same plot or as part of wider housing allocation.
A new site plan is included with these representations demonstrating revised site area which is approximately 1.25 ha in size.
With additional land, it is considered possible to enable min 25 dwellings on western area of land (20 dph).
A few other matters are ‘Amber’ in the assessment. Further information is therefore provided.
