Respondent: Thurlton Parish Council

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

• The village does not require further housing
• The proposal to squeeze 15 houses into an extremely small site is flawed
• Highways access is problematic, as highlighted in previous applications on the site 2018/2593 & 2018/2594.
• Protection of the wildlife habitats, trees and the pond are given priority.
• For the proposed target of 15 houses this is a significant risk accessing the Beccles Road.
• Access to the site via Sandy Lane to the South should not be permitted.
• Any development on this site MUST be sympathetic to the properties bordering the site

Change suggested by respondent:

The Parish Council wish to the following in relation to this site
• at present, the village does not require further housing
• The Parish Council wish to state that the proposal to squeeze 15 houses into an extremely small and problematic site is, in our opinion, flawed and should be removed from consideration.
• The Highways access is also problematic, as highlighted in previous applications on the site 2018/2593 & 2018/2594. In both cases Highways raised significant concerns about the standard of roadway through the development and the access to Beccles Road. In light of these the Parish Council ask that all 8 of the comments/ recommendations from highways are considered again.
• The Parish Council wish to state that, should the site be taken forward, the protection of the wildlife habitats, trees and the pond are given priority. This area is a bio-diverse environment and should be maintained as such
• The Parish Council are extremely concerned with the access for the proposed site, based on the allocation. As highlighted the site slopes downwards East to South-West, meaning the access to Beccles Road will be also be sloped. For the proposed target of 15 houses (~30 cars) this is a significant risk accessing the Beccles Road. We also agree with highways that access to the site via Sandy Lane to the South should not be permitted.
• The Parish Council stress that should the site be taken forward any development on this site MUST be sympathetic to the existing properties already bordering the proposed location
