Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan - Alternative Sites & Focused Changes (Reg. 18)
QUESTION 2b: If the site is allocated, do you think there are any specific requirements that should be set out in the allocation policy?
Representation ID: 3405
Received: 24/01/2024
Respondent: Norfolk County Council
The revision to the proposed layout is noted, however the improvements identified in the earlier Highway Authority response are still required e.g. carriageway widening to 5.5m, along with 2.0m wide footway. The proposal to access development via private drives might reduce impact, but an acceptable highway layout would still require extensive removal of the existing frontage hedge.
Subject to the above, the Highway Authority does not object to the proposal.

QUESTION 9b: If the site is allocated, do you think there are any specific requirements that should be set out in the allocation policy?
Representation ID: 3412

Respondent: Norfolk County Council
The site should be accessed via The Street only. The access would require suitable visibility splays, along with extension of the 30mph speed limit and relocation of the speed reducing gateway feature.
A 2.0m wide footway would be required at The Street, between the site access and Milestone Lane to connect with the existing facility, this would need to include a simple pedestrian crossing.
Trees east of the development, at the north side of The Street could present a constraint to delivery of footway if they are 3rd party owned. At the south side of The Street, some hedging is present, along with a ditch. In some instances, carriageway can be utilised for footway delivery, The Street is a bus route and needs to be maintained at 6.5m wide.
The Highway Authority would not object to allocation of the site if the promotor demonstrates that a satisfactory footway as above can be delivered.
